Barbara - When my son took the Magic Mouthwash, it only worked for a little while. He then went to something over-the-counter that the pharmacist recommended and that worked pretty well but just for a short time. The good news is that when he went back to the Magic Mouthwash, it started working again! Maybe your doctor could recommend a substitute for the Magic Mouthwash? Also some people on this forum have used Manuka Honey #16 (available at a health foods store) and got some good relief, but it is very important that anything you take should be checked out with your doctor first. For more information on Manuka Honey, check out this link from the Oral Cancer in the News site:

Sure hope you get some relief soon!
