lidocaine mouthwash

There's only 2 things I know that cause this frequently while on hep c treatment...An oral fungal infection (like thrush) or a folic acid/ B-12 deficiency...Is your tongue bright red or have a whitish coating? Are you anemic? If it's fungal in origin, a simple mouth swish of a mixture of a children's thrush syrup, lidocaine, and Maalox (or just get a prescription of "Magic Mouthwash") and supplying a source of acidophilous (yogurt, capsules, etc) daily to your body...

I have been using biotene toothpaste and mouthwash which helps to keep a pH balance in the mouth. There is also a perscription you can get for "magic mouthwash." Among other things it contains lidocaine which helps numb your mouth. I did ask my pharmacist about it and he is familar with it but it does need a script. So far with the biotene, I have held my mouth in check.....(lol: some of my family members might disagree with that statement)! Good luck.

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.

Hi- nothing cures these things! Look for a mouthwash/spray containing Benzydamine hydrochloride. Most everything is a prescription and doesn't always help. Ask your pharmacist if he'll give you some viscous lidocaine to swish around. He may have other suggestions of new stuff I don't know about ... stick with bland foods and liquids; drink through a straw. I feel badly for you...

he can prescribe a prescription preparation called ‘magic mouthwash, which contains Nystatin, Maloxx, Benadryl, and Lydocaine. This is a swish and swallow medication that can be compounded by your local pharmacy, and nubs on contact, so at least you can get some relief. It’s commonly used by cancer patients, the doc should be aware of it. Pain in the butt; er… mouth, that is; but a lot of us get it.

I have heard of people using magic mouthwash which is a combo of liquid benadryl, an antacid, and lidocaine. Be sure that your mom does not use any mouthwash with alcohol in it since the alcohol can irritate her mouth. Spicy, very hot, or very cold foods may bother her as well. You may want call your mom's md and let him/her know of the severity of the sores, he may want to see her.

Ask your doctor for a prescription for Magic Mouthwash. It will clear it up and take away the soreness from your tongue. I had the same symptoms and did not have thrush. I call it the medicine mouth due to the treatment drugs.

About three weeks ago, I posted that I had these terrible mouth sores. It was causing me so much pain that I couldn't eat or even open my mouth. My tongue was covered with blisters, my cheeks and gums were so sore and my mouth had cracks at both corners. My doctor sent an oral anti-fungal rinse and also something called "Magic Mouthwash" which has Lidocaine in it. It numbs your mouth so you can eat (and talk). The oral rinses cleared up the inside of my mouth in TWO days!

I've never had it but I've certainly heard of it. I have something in the back part of my gums right now. I see the dentist next week and I surely hope I don't have it but I will deal with it if I do. More common than I thought in the mouth.

Hi Growzer, I'm in Canada, too. Do you have access to a walk-in clinic? Most docs know about Magic Mouthwash. You can also make it yourself in a pinch: equal parts Mylanta, children's Benadryl and viscous lidocaine. The lidocaine can be purchased without a prescription (it's kept behind the counter). Keep in a clean bottle in the fridge, shake well before using as needed. This will tide you over until Tuesday.

You could ask for ‘magic mouthwash’ if you’re developing mouth ulcers; 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.

i also use equal parts of benadryl, malox and lidocaine and swish and spit or you can get it prescribed already mixed its called Magic mouthwash. About the blood work, i am not to good on that. But i have had the rash and mouthsores for most of my tx. i am in week 31 and hopefully will be doing 42.

Regarding the mouth sores, have they given you any Magic Mouthwash yet? It’s a swish ‘n swallow Rx of lidocaine, Maalox, benadryl and sometimes nystatin; it numbs on contact, and really helps with thrush and other things.

I am 2 weeks post tx and I am still having a problem with my lips. Everytime I don't drink enough water....they start without fail. Right now they are the worst they've ever been. I was real busy yesterday and kept forgetting the water and am paying the price. I used the Biotene mouth wash this morning figuring that maybe the pH of my mouth might be contributing. I can;'t tell yet if its gonna help, but I will keep using it. I have about 10000 tubes of chapstick.....

Go to your Dr and get a prescription for MAGIC MOUTHWASH. It works. For me it definitely lessened the severity of the mouth sores. It has Lidocaine, Benadryl and malox in it. That is the basic stuff. It can also be mixed with other things like something to get rid of yeast problems (forgot the name) if they develop.

You can get an aneshthetic mouth rinse but just using a mouthwash, like Biotine or Listerine, will cause them to at least improve in just a few days.

Is it safe to use mouthwash during pregnancy? If so which brands do you use?

i've been sober/clean 24 years.I was told in inpatient to not use mouthwash with alcohol...I never drank it i took this as a form of hysteria....so i used alcohol free and it didn't kill germs like regular.For the past 24 yrs.i've been using regular..has not caused me any problems and probably has killed many germs and evidently not me yet!

Before oral sex se use mouthwas (listerine) with contain alcohol to gargling her mouth. Can a mouthwash increase a risk of hiv?

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.

I can’t help with marital problems, but you might try ‘Magic Mouthwash’ for the sores in your mouth. 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.
