Ask for a prescription for Magic Mouthwash. Use it as necessary to help with your sore mouth and before eating. Rinse your mouth with 16oz warm water, 2 tsp baking soda, and 2 tsp salt at least 4 times per day. If the salt burns your mouth, cut it back or omit it. Try to keep some salt in the mixture as it will help with healing.

Hang in there!!!
