For mouth pain and sores, there are several things to try. Baking soda and salt mixed in warm water. Swish around for a minute then spit. I used a teaspoon of each in a glass of water. Mix well.

The magic mouthwash works but the main ingredients are Benadryl and lidocaine. Ask the doctor for liquid lidocaine and mix with some Benadryl. Swish around and this will ease the mouth pain. Check with doctor before you become a junior pharmacist though. :-)

The other thing I did was when I had serious open mouth sores was to just take raw salt and rub it on. Yep, it hurt but felt better after the initial treatment.

One other thing to try is high PH water. It is very soothing. Give it a try. Look for ph 9+
