i was prescribed Mary's Mouthwash for a major sore throat. but i don't have any sores of any type in my mouth or throat. it's just really sore and my neck is even tender to touch. and to move. i don't have hepatitis c either. but that's what my Doctor prescribed me. but since i am allergic to penicillin, they did it without Tet something. I'm not sure of the exact wording. they said i just have a virus and this should help my throat. but so far it only makes me drowsy. and doesn't really do much. what's in it that is supposed to make me feel better? and should i keep taking it? because i am kind of concerned because it doesn't have the ingredients on the bag from the prescription so i don't know if i am allergic to any of the stuff. some one help?

Your doctor or the pharmacist who got you the mouth wash would be the best people to check with about specific ingredients. The commonest materials used for mild anesthetic relief of sore throat, mouth ulcers, and the like are various percentages of viscous lidocaine and benadryl. The benadryl has a mild sedative effect and the lidocaine is a topical anesthetic. Warm salt water lavages of the throat can also be of some help with viral irritations or post nasal drip irritations. Most viral sore throats will resolve in a few days. Persistent pain, fever, or increasing swelling should cause you to seek follow up.

Mary's Magic Mouthwash is an all-around mouth sore treating liquid. We make it at the pharmacy with Diphenhydramine Elixer (Benadryl), Nystatin Suspension (Anti-fungal), Tetracycline capsules that we pull apart and use the powder (antibiotic), and crushed Hydrocortisone tablets (anti-itch/swelling). After making it for so long at the pharmacy I decided to ask my MD for a prescription because I'm always getting canker sores in my mouth. Great stuff:)

This is formuation for "irrtation to buccal" or oral cavity. Generally patients have soreness to mouth -- no thrush or yeast. Thrush or yeast should be treated differently, with thee use of nystatin solution.
Magic Mouthwash formulation as recommended by Stanford is as follows:
50 cc of Mylanta
30 cc of 2% viscous lidocaine
20cc Benadryl (diphenhydramine) solution
Equivalent of 100 cc -- can be made in larger amounts.
Directions are to swish, gargle, and swallow every 1-2 hours as needed.
You do need a prescription for this. Since it is a compunded prescription, not all pharmacists will mix this for you.

Thanks so much for the ingredients for Mary's Mouthwash. My Dr. gave me a prescription and it helped...but I certainly could not afford to continue to refill it....so I can make it myself now. Also good for mouth sores is to swish or gargle with hydrogen peroxide (twice daily, do not swallow). Use sparingly because it will also kill the good bacteria in your mouth. Baking soda also works but is very high in sodium content....
I hope this helps...blessings to all

Judy left this post here awhile before you asked where one can get "Mary's Magic Mouthwash" you could take the formulation to your doctor and have him or her write a prescription for formulation at you local pharmacy.

Hm, even more than itchy head symptoms or rage? Those always seem to be repeat topics. Love to see the subject of ole coal tar. Oh my gosh that stuff is nasty smelling! But after trying SEVERAL different kinds of shampoos and having sores on my head from scratcing, it was such a relief. As much a relief as Mary's Magic Mouthwash. :)

Can you still work during treatments and does it make your hair fall out |

Hi Judy,
I worked all the way through treatment, and didn't miss many days.
A lot of my hair fell out, so I bought a wig. It looked really cute.
