I got the Gelclair today and found the taste bad but no worse than the taste of some other stuff. I followed directions-swished and gargled all of it for a minute or two and the spit out and I found it soothing at first but 45 minutes later (as it has dried in my mouth) I'm in as much or more pain than before from the sores (they are all over my inner lips, the roof of my mouth and the back of my throat when I look in the mirror with a flashlight).

I guess maybe this pain is unavoidable. I have been giving myself liquid tylenol through the tube for it and it seems to make it more managable sometimes but not always.
