About the magic mouthwash making you nasueous. Are you swalloing it? MM is made to swish in your mouth for maybe 10-20 seconds then spit out. The ingredients can vary, mine was made of lidocaine, malox and benedryl. If nasueous ask your docs of anti-nasuea meds, they work wonders.
If the pain is bad tell your docs. There are stronger pain eds. Alot of us have used the fentayl patch. Its the strongest pain killer and comes in alot of different doses. Its also very simple as it gets changed every 72 hours. So for 3 days you dont have to take meds unless you have occassional break thru pain.
Best of luck with everything. Never give up!!!!
