Vickie,
My RO gave me a bottle of ulcer ease. I used it along with my pain meds. I found it to really work out well. I would apply it to the sores with a q-tip.
I agree with Gail about the "swizzel" numbing agent that I also had. I was scared to use it due to it numbing everything to the point that I could not control how much liquid I was attempting to swallow. For that reason I did not use it.
