Q: Does this make your throat feel weird if it shallow small bit

submitted by Ann - 8 months ago
  • A: Hey Ann. It can cause a mild tingling or unusual sensation if a small amount is swallowed, because the medication numbs local tissue. Swallowing more than a tiny amount isn’t recommended. Use only as directed, and if you have concerns or persistent discomfort, talk with your dentist or healthcare provider.

    Immediate it was!

    When you first apply the cream to a canker sore, it will sting a bit (which is to be expected), but then it's numb in basically 5 seconds. Though, I didn't want to swallow it so I just spat my saliva out and felt a faint sweetness from the gel, so I hope the gel still did it's thing or I screwed myself over. While it doesn't put a protective barrier over the canker sore, it still temporarily removes the pain from it so you can actually eat/drink for once AT LAST! 😮‍💨

    Relief for braces pain

    Worked instantly. Just got my braces adjusted and know I’ll have sore gums by tomorrow. Just rubbed some gel on my gums and I feel the relief already. Only thing I dislike is it spread to my tongue.

    Complaint

    Hello, I’d like to file a complaint about the extremely poor Order Pickup experience at the Target Woodfield location. My medication pickup order showed as “ready for pickup” in the app, but when I arrived, the order was still not actually prepared even after more than 3 hours. In addition, Order Pickup and Returns were being handled at the same counter, with only one employee managing everything. The line was extremely long, and I had to wait over 15 minutes just to speak with someone. This is especially frustrating for medication-related purchases, where customers expect faster and more efficient service. Please improve the staffing and pickup process at this location. Thank you.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback, Samantha. Concerns with order pickup timing, staffing, and in‑store processes are managed by Target. We recommend contacting Target’s customer service or the Woodfield store directly so they can review your experience and work toward improvements.

    Gross

    This item really is gross because even if you just dab on a cold sore in your mouth, it will literally numb your entire tongue and your tongue is not even there just from like you’re saliva swallowing and stuff. It will literally just make your whole entire mouth, numb and it’s really horrible tasting, and it does not help with itchy gums.

    Buys you some short term comfort

    I regularly get canker sores because of dental work. While this does not medicinally help the healing process, the numbing definitely makes the days pass quicker as it heals on its own. If i don’t eat or drink it can last as long as an hour. Half an hour if I do eat and drink. If you’ve ever had a topical cream applied at the dentist before they give you a gum injection, it’s essentially that. People are right that it can travel down your mouth and numb other parts, so hold your mouth open for a bit after you apply to get it settled on the sore, then spit a few times after you shut your mouth to rinse the excess. It’s definitely very short term, but it’ll save your sanity for a little while.

    Nah

    I made the mistake of thinking this would be the best thing for my mouth sore. Not for me. It's diffcult to put on and it makes areas you don't want medicated go numb like your tongue. Pretty much everything except the actual sore itself. It also had white remaining residue left over in my mouth. It just didn't work for me. I ended up getting poraxyl mouthwash and it was so much easier to use and it was more effective.
