During the acute phase, advise the patient to avoid alcohol or acid-containing medicaments and foods. Prescribe “magic mouthwash”—ie, Kaopectate (Chattem) 5 mL, Benadryl (McNeil) 12.5 mg, and dexamethasone 12 mg swish and spit—and/or 2% lidocaine gel to be applied topically before meals and as needed. If secondary infection is suspected (eg, tender lymphadenopathy, significant mucosal pain), also treat with antibiotics: amoxicillin 500 mg three times daily or doxycycline 100 mg daily.
