Hey everyone, just wondering can anyone give me some guidance for pain relief in my tongue. I've got the benzydamine spray to ease the pain so that I can eat, but either I'm getting used to it or the pain is increasing and I'm finding I need to use more of it throughout the day and at night.

Is there anything you can recommend that would last longer or I can use with the spray?

I'm on co-codamol 30/500 2 tablets 4x a day, ibuprofen 400mg 4x a day and oramorph as and when (I'm not a fan of being bunged up so don't take the oramorph as often as I could)

My pain is a sharp stabbing pain where my tongue rubs on my teeth, an ache in theback of my tongue (as I'm doing exercises) and a feeling as if I've burnt my tongue on the left.

In the UK we don't have magic mouthwash as far as I know.
