Does mouthwash work just as well as bonjela for mouth ulcers?

Mouthwash and Bonjela serve different purposes when it comes to treating mouth ulcers. Mouthwash, especially those containing antiseptic properties, can help reduce bacteria and promote healing but may not provide direct pain relief. Bonjela, on the other hand, contains ingredients like lidocaine that specifically target pain relief and create a protective barrier over the ulcer. Therefore, while both can be beneficial, they are not interchangeable, and the choice depends on whether pain relief or antiseptic action is the priority.
