HI again, Leslie - I don't know why you have this continuing pain in your mouth? As I mentioned previously, could you ask your doctor to prescribe "Duke's Mouth Wash" for you? That seems to help my husband, plus he drinks cranberry juice, which seems to "calm" the mouth problems? Let us know if any of that helps?
Warmly, JaneP smile
