The NP suggested no alcohol, and check the mouthwash for alcohol, as it can be drying. Also soft foods won't require as much saliva to process, so that will cut down on irritation. Ice Chips or sugar-free candy to suck on. If all else fails, there are prescription products they can prescribe for you. Switching out my mouthwash took care of the problem for me.
