1264863 tn?1391118193 hi there, go call you physician or dentist and ask for a prescription of benadryl, maalox, and lidocaine. It is commonly known as the "magic mouthwash" and I used to prescribe it all the time for patients going through chemo or had systemic diseases that created chronic apthous ulcers (aka canker sores.) If for some reason you can't get to the dr., use the combination of equal parts liquid benadryl and maalox (or mylanta) gargle and swish for 60 seconds then spit..
Avatar m tn I would see a dentist to make sure what it is. In the mean time you can mix 1/2 and 1/2 liquid benadryl and maalox or other liquid indigestion medication and swish it around your mouth. Tht won't hurt you but y ou need to find out if the ulcer is due to yeast because you will need an anti-fungal to get rid of that.
Avatar f tn Magic mouthwash relieves pain I swish it before eating and after eating. Kaiser prescribed it to me has lidocaine and statin antibiotic in Maalox solution.
Avatar f tn Hi, I have a similar problem. I take several medications that cause dry mouth. I use Biotene products and they help somewhat. I get mouth ulcers from having a dry mouth and using Symbicort. Maalox/liquid Benadryl eases the pain, but doesn't prevent the mouth ulcers. I also get repeated thrush infections despite brushing and rinsing everytime I use Symbicort. I'm sure it has to do with dry mouth.
1216595 tn?1284933208 it’s a swish ‘n swallow concoction that typically has benadryl, Maalox and lidocaine; and sometimes nystatin to help with any fungal problems. It numbs on contact; most insurance covers it too, I think. Drs are usually familiar with it, it’s used in cancer chemo too.
Avatar f tn I have now asked my doctor to prescribe Lidocaine, and I will make my own. Supposedly, you use Maalox, Childrens liquid Benadryl and the Lidocane, but I don't know how much of each. I'll look it up when (if) I need to. Now that I'm going back to work in Sept., I hope and pray so hard that these sores don't come back because it hurts and I look like a monster. Also, if a person is a Herpes Simplex carrier, it can manifest itself while on tx.
Avatar m tn It is a ‘swish ‘n swallow Rx concoction that contains various proportions of Maalox, benadryl (anti-inflammatory), lidocaine (anesthetic), and sometimes Nystatin (antifungal). It numbs on contact to make eating and drinking a bit easier, although it doesn’t last too long. Typically it’s prescribed to take 5-6 times daily, or as needed.
Avatar m tn My girlfriend is a medical transcriptionists and the benadryl & maalox is what they reccomend, it works good. The sides of my tongue gets raw from rubbing my teeth and at night my retainers. I guess we just have to deal with it.
745313 tn?1323142298 If you’re just trying to manage this, there’s a prescription product called ‘Magic Mouthwash’ that needs to be formulated by the pharmacist; it contains equal parts of Lidocaine, Maalox, and Benadryl—and sometimes Nystatin as well. This stuff numbs on contact, and provides near-immediate relief, but doesn’t often deal with the root cause. This **** can be a nuisance; I wish him well.
Avatar n tn It’s a swish and swallow liquid that needs to be prescribed by a doctor, but works on contact. It contains lidocaine, Maalox, and Nystatin; it numbs on contact. You can also try eating some yogurt; and there are things like Biotene toothpaste and rinse that seem to help some too.
Avatar f tn The magic mouthwash that I know of is maalox, benedryl, and lidocaine. It'll soothe the sores and make it feel better but it won't actually get rid of the thrush. I found, I was plagued with it for the last few months of tx. I took Nystatin continuously, found that, it didn't get rid of it but at least kept it at bay. The yoghurt with live cultures is a good suggestion, also acidopholus capsules.
Avatar f tn Hypermagnesemia, hypomagnesemia, and increased tendon reflexes have been reported in infants whose mothers were using aluminum and magnesium containing antacid products chronically and in high or excessive doses during their pregnancy. No congenital defects have been reported with the use of simethicone. Animal studies with simethicone-coated cellulose suspension have not revealed maternal or fetal toxicity; however, animal studies are not always predictive of human risk.
Avatar f tn s a combination of benedryl liquid, maalox and lidocaine, you swish it over the sores and it numbs and also heals them up faster. But you need to see a dentist or doctor for that. There are pastes in the dental isles for cankor sores that you could use to cover the sore and numb it, Canka makes one and I'm sure there are others.
Avatar n tn There is definitely a pain in my esophagus. My doctor said use Maalox. Do i take it before or after eating and how will that make it easier to swallow?
Avatar n tn this is a prescription medication that contains lidocaine, Maalox, and Nystatin that numbs on contact. It’s a swish ‘n swallow mix that needs to be concocted by your local pharmacy.
Avatar f tn My dentist gives me my shot and see another patient, by the time he got back to me I was fully numb. and the numbness last for 8 - 12 hours. I am highly allergic to lidocaine it puts me into anaphylactic shock, I have an epipen but sa that I don't have to use that I just make sure everyone is doing their job and I always wear my medic alert bracelet.
1654058 tn?1407159066 It’s compounded by the local pharmacy and can contain various proportions of Maalox, benadryl, lidocaine and Nystatin. It’s a swish ‘n swallow that is used several times a day and numbs on contact so at least you might be able to eat meals without too much pain. It’s often prescribed to cancer chemo patients; most doctors are at least vaguely familiar with it.
11970398 tn?1443134602 Ive had aweful heartburn, tums arnt cutting it, my dr says i can take maalox but i was wondering if anyone knew a pill i could swallow for it?
Avatar n tn Is it safe to take Maalox or Gaveskon during pregnancy.?
Avatar f tn Can nexium and priolac cause weight gain. ARe there any other over the counter meds for reflux/sour stomach?
731247 tn?1233787586 Have you tried Magic Mouthwash? It’s a combination of lidocaine, benadryl and Maalox, with Nystatin sometimes thrown in to help with the fungus. It doesn’t seem to cure what ails you, but sure gives immediate if not temporary relief. It’s an Rx product; and is usually formulated at the pharmacy. I hope you get some relief; this stuff can play hell on the skin.
Avatar f tn You might ask your doctor for an Rx for ‘magic mouthwash’ if it persists; this is an rx concoction of lidocaine, benadryl and Maalox; sometimes they mix Nystatin in it as well. It numbs on contact, but only lasts a little while. A prescription typically says to ‘swish and swallow’ up to five times daily with it. This stuff is prescribed to cancer chemo patients routinely, so your doctor should be familiar with it. Have them call it in to the pharmacy; it needs to be mixed before hand.
Avatar f tn It is perfectly safe to take Benadryl, and maalox, I would check with your Dr about lidocain just be sure, but I'm sure it's ok as some pregnant are prescribed the lidicain patches for pain management.
Avatar f tn Son was also put on 2 acid reducers and anti nausea medication plus Maalox. Started on Monday and still no better. How long would it take for these Meds to be working if they were going to?
416285 tn?1207171916 My dr let me take 10 mg Pepcid AC and it helped WAY more than the Maalox, Tums and Rolaids. Hope you feel better and ask your dr about the Pepcid.
