personally i avoid Benadryl at all costs it very much disagrees with me

Allegra has helped me ... this helps as well
- prednisone · Helped
Both times I’ve had this I’ve been put on prednisone which works well for the swelling and sores
In context ↗ - baking soda tongue brushing · Helped
Baking soda is basic and creates an alkaline environment hostile to yeast, it also helps the pain almost instantly
In context ↗ - coconut oil rinses · Helped
rinsing with coconut oil this time around ... This also seems to help the pain.
In context ↗ - hydrogen peroxide rinses · Not said
I rinsed with hydrogen peroxide (diluted to about .5%) while i was still at the tail of my covid infection
