In my humble opinion, the baking soda rinse worked better than the lidocaine mix I used them both.

Best of luck.

baking soda

While on AC I rinsed at least 3 times a day with warm water and baking soda. This did the trick for me.

Terri,
When I started chemo 3 years ago, my oncology nurse suggested the same mixture as Pam, baking soda, salt and water 3 times a day, but instead, I used Arm & Hammer Dental Care-Dental Baking Soda toothpaste(not baking soda-peroxide kind, just baking soda), and I have been using it since then. It has done the trick for me, because I've had epirubicin, citoxan, taxotere, herceptin,nalvabine, gemzar, and now xeloda, and no mouth sores.
I hope this will help you.
Hugs,
KarlaV.
