My Oncologist told me that there was a nationwide shortage of Lidocaine (main ingredient in Magic Mouthwash). I bought me some Orajel (sp) and that worked too. My GP found me some MM @ another pharmacy here in town and I stocked up on it.
I recently (end of June) completed chemo & radiation for #2 round of cancer. Mouth sores were horrendous. The tip of my tongue is still very sensitive to alot of foods. I have all my scans to hopefully confirm the throat cancer is gone.
Good luck & God bless us all!!!!
