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 It contains lidocaine (which is a topical anesthetic for the pain); Benadryl (diphenhydraminen, an antihistamine to reduce inflammation), and Maalox (an antacid that help to coat the sores and soothe).
1216595 tn?1284933208 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.
Avatar f tn 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...
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 Anything with cinnamon or ascorbic acid makes it worse too) The other thing that seems to help is to swish my mouth with the liquid antacid, Maalox. I have read that some Doctors are recommending Alpha lipoic acid as helpful but I haven't personally tried it. It has been very uncomfortable and distracting sometimes and my tongue actually swells a little which makes it brush up against the edges of my teeth and causes more pain.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
416285 tn?1207171916 yes.. my ob told me maalox, mylanta, tums all would be fine to take. try to eat smaller meals and more often. that helped me.
1765684 tn?1333819168 You are not alone. My low level sore tongue / throat went from mild to really painful in two days after I noticed the white tongue and white patches on my cheeks. Damn if my dr thought I was nuts asking for magic mouthwash. I'm sure an oncologist would have heard of it as is common with chemo. I even faxed the mayo clinic recipe and he told me to try chloriseptic until our appointment in 2 weeks. I can hardly eat!
Avatar f tn I now take zantac 150 in the morning which helps but what really helps is taking 2-3 teaspoons is Maalox before and after I eat. I started taking Maalox and stopped taking tums as tums just weren't doing it. The Maalox helps coat the esophagus which makes it easier to eat and keep things down. I was in the same boat as you couldn't eat or sleep and constantly throwing up cause their is so much acid. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn And again this year, I have experienced an attack for the second time and was treated at the hospital. I took Maalox antacid for the first two days, but the more I take this medicine, the more often my stomach aches. My doctor said that it may be the medicine - Maalox that causes this pain, so he changed my medicine to geltazine capsule. Then this month, my son was diagnosed with the same - gastritis. he is just two years old. is it possible for a two year kid to have this disease?
