Another thing to do is to eat yogurt but every now and then swish it around inside your mouth. You can also get plain yogurt and swish it around and spit it out.

Also, as said above, suck on ice cubes during the treatment and for the first 24 hours.

Benadryl acts as a local anesthetic. That is why it is in anti-itch creams. I read in a pharmacy journal years ago that mixing Benadryl syrup (Diphenhydramine 12.5mg/5cc) with an equal portion of Maalox makes a pain relieving mouthwash. There is something called Magic Mouthwash for mouth sores but you will need a doctors prescription for this.
