My husband has been using the Carrington Oral Mouth Rinse, and it does seem to help somewhat - but it is not alleviating the sores. How long do those darn things last?! I would have thought too, that by now (1 month after treatment) that they would be gone - not "doubling up" and getting "raised". Perhaps it's because he has been eating a few more solids than usual or maybe it was because he had a bit of alcohol mixed in with some egg nog (to help ease the burn) that could be aggravating them. I don't know what else to try. He does use that rinse as I mentioned and this stuff that is nicknamed "magic mouthwash" which is a mix of some anesthetics that you rinse (and can even swallow) that helps ease the pain too. He even has Mycelex Troche which are rather large white wafer tablets that dissolve on the tongue to coat the mouth. All these things do help to some degree. But how long do these sores last? Can this be a sign of an oral infection of sorts? Also, I have also made him the old fashioned concoction of salt/baking soda/water mix too. If anyone who has had or is still experiencing mouth sores can tell me what the duration of these are and if there's any other ideas that can help get rid of them - I would appreciate it. Thanks
