Many doctors will write you a prescription for this fairly readily, as it is not a controlled substance and has few negative side effects in adults. Ask for a 100 mL vial. Viscous lidocaine is also fairly cheap and covered by most insurance plans. Get your prescription filled by a pharmacist. Lidocaine will reduce the feeling in your mouth, possibly making it difficult to chew, so avoid eating for at least one hour after using the drug. Lidocaine may not be safe for children under age 3, so make sure to keep the contain tightly closed and stored where children cannot access it. The common brand name for the first medication is Benadryl. You can find this easily at drug stores and it is often available in a generic or store brand. Make sure that you are purchasing the liquid (children's) kind. One bottle of at least 100mL will be enough. Get a bottle of liquid antacid, as well, like Mylanta or Maalox.

A vial of lidocaine will cost you about $20 and may or may not be covered by insurance. Children's Benadryl and Maalox will cost about $10 each. Viscous lidocaine usually comes in a 100mL bottle. It is easier to use the entire bottle in a batch, since the medication is thick and difficult to measure. Mix 100mL of each of the other two ingredients with the lidocaine. For the last two ingredients, measure using a sterile medical measuring cup or, if you have purchased the proper amount in a bottle, use the entire bottle. Never measure medicines with household utensils. They are not always standard size and could give you the wrong dosage. Now, shake the solution until it appears uniform. Once you've done this, the mouthwash is ready to use. Be sure to follow your doctor's advice on dosage. Since this medication is used to treat a wide variety of conditions, your physician will give your instructions based on the specific treatment you are seeking. Usually doctors recommend that you use it once every four to six hours, for two minutes at a time.
Summary: Get a prescription for 2% Viscous Lidocaine. Buy Diphenhydramine and liquid antacid. Mix ingredients in a 1:1:1 ratio.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Scissors are a good method for shortening a beard, but require a skilled hand for finer details, such as thinning or shaping. Make sure the scissors are rust-free and without major imperfections or notches in the blades that may tug on or pull your hair. Don't use kitchen scissors or garden shears. These can be too big and clumsy to maneuver. You don't want to cut yourself. This will prevent you from cutting the hair too short. Try to imitate the way a barber gathers hair in a comb, then lightly clips it. Comb from your ear to your jaw, exposing a tiny amount of hair. Trim any hair which is on the outside of the comb's teeth. Use caution when performing this step. Begin by trimming very short lengths of hair - you can easily decide to trim more, but it is impossible to correct the mistake if you accidentally trim too much. Continue cutting the beard evenly until you've reached the desired length. Comb the beard again to ensure you've got an even trim of the hair. Comb the hair straight down. In a straight line, trim any hair that falls below the line of your lip. Using extra care, use the scissors to trim the hair as close as possible on your neck. If possible, use an electric trimmer for this step. If you're intimidated, you can simply lather and shave your neck with a safety razor to remove all the hair. This can be much easier than making the finishing touches with scissors.
Summary: Select a pair of sharp, clean scissors, preferably barber's shears. Use a comb as a guide. Repeat this process on the other side of your face. Trim your mustache and chin. Finish with a clean edge.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The number of eggs you should scramble will depend on how many people you want to feed. Scramble 2 per person. Make the scrambled eggs in a hot pan. Then cut a bagel in half and toast it. Drape a slice or two of salmon over each bagel half and then top with the scrambled eggs. You can also cut 2 slices of smoked salmon into bite-size pieces and add them to the scrambled egg mixture before you cook it. Toast 2 halves of an English muffin. Lay a slice of smoked salmon on each half. Then top each half with a poached egg and spoon a spoonful of hollandaise sauce over the top. You can season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Mash an avocado in a small bowl until it's mostly smooth (a few chunks are okay). Brush some olive oil onto 2 slices of sourdough bread and set them on a cooking sheet. Place the sheet in a 350 F (177 C) oven and toast for 5 minutes. Divide the avocado between the 2 slices of bread and top with the smoked salmon and a dollop of sour cream.

Make scrambled eggs and salmon. Add smoked salmon to eggs Benedict. Make smoked salmon avocado toast.
