Magic Mouthwash

So the Magic Mouthwash wasn't any good for you?

Wow, it seems the salt water would sting!
Thanks for the input!

It wasn't that it didn't work - the way I understand magic mouthwash is that it is to control the pain. The salt water worked so good I didn't need the magic mouthwash more than a day.

Great Info everyone, Thanks!

This "compound" that i got yesterday is a mixture of lidocaine, benedryl and malox (i think that's what she said). I haven't used it yet, but if it gets really bad, i will!

I did the saltwater rinse this morning. My mouth feels pretty good, although when i first woke up, it was throbbing so i took some ibuprofen!

Terri,

That's the combo I had - now I "remember"! The lidocaine numbs your mouth, so that may give you some relief. Granted, I never had the sores to begin with, but my onc told me to use it as a preventative measure.

I hope you get these mouth sores under control. I'm sure they can be quite painful.

All my best,
