Re: mouth sores

Before you can see a doctor and get a prescription Mouthwash, you can buy Maalox and Diphenhydramine elixir over the counter. Get a prescription plastic bottle from the pharmacist and make a solution ( suspension) equal parts of the Maalox and Diphenhydramine liquid ( Benadryl). Shake well and use as a mouthwash. The acts in the body as an anti-histamine but acts locally as an anesthetic. This may give some relief. If you swallow this the Diphenhydramine can cause drowsiness
