It helps to keep it clean, which mouthwash, especially Listerine, will help.

Nope. Try saltwater. Gargle it.

Don’t know if it will help but it sure will hurt. Kanka works great - you can get it at any drug store.

probably not, most mouthwash contains alcohol which just dries out tissues and impedes healing. I would use a mild salt water solution to swish with a couple of times a day.

Yes, help it BURN. Get some cepacol or anbesol or something.

The salt water times day do not swallow the salt water will aid in healing.

it would help with bacteria but not for pain. try rinsing with warm salt water and use something like ambesol or ora gel for the pain.
