sorry just saw your note. My dr. ordered dexamethasone .5 mg/ 5 ml. liquid, saline or water, dont know, i took it 3 times a day , held it in my mouth swishing for 5 min. each time then spit it out. nothing to eat or drink for 15 min. I did that for 4 weeks with great improvement. My pain scale for mouth pain went from 8-10 to 1-2, increasing only while eating or rinsing. good luck...SIS

just a thought whileyou are waiting, my ENT specialist told me to get a small spray bottle with salt water,and just spray for some moderate relief until my appointment which took 6 weeks to get. TOOK the edge off somewhat.
