Hi Terri,

While getting A/C I rinsed my mouth (swish and spit) twice a day with a solution called 'Radio Mix'. It was a combination of lidocaine, and two other ingredients that I can't recall (sorry). The pharmacist mixed it up and it was $23.00 a bottle. It was not covered by insurance because it was a compound. It tasted nasty, but did wonders. I didn't get one mouth sore.
