MOUTH PAIN

  • Avoid smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol because these can irritate the inside of your mouth.
  • Eat cold food to numb your taste buds, such as sherbet, fruit ice, frozen yogurt or ice cream.
  • Eat soft, bland food, including applesauce, oatmeal, grits, cream of wheat, cream soups, custard, pudding, cooked meats and mashed hard-boiled eggs, and drink non-acidic juices and nectars.
  • Avoid acidic food and fluids (e.g., citrus juices, tomato sauce and vinegar), spicy and salty food.
  • Avoid eating very hot food and drinking carbonated soda which can make mouth sores burn. Allow food to cool down to a lukewarm temperature before eating.
