Are there any home remedies for pain in my mouth (tongue specifically)? The doctor prescribed a mouth wash, but the pharmacy didn't fill it in time and I can barely swallow.

    What wonderful suggestions... the mouth washes sound very soothing, and keeping them cold would be additional help.. I only hope this helps Celien. I somehow escaped the mouth sores and can only imagine how painful they would be. Healing thoughts, and take care, Sharon

    My daughter use to get ulcers on her tongue her pediatrician had me make a paste 1/2% mylanta 1/2% Benadryl elixir using a q-tip paint the affected area mylanta helps to provide a protective barrier and the antihistamine in Benadryl relieves the pain and discomfort. He also advised to stay away from sugar and acid type of foods. Hope that helps. Take care
