Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain it seems that you have got an Apthous Ulcer and in case if it is more than 10mm in size it can be a Major Apthae that is a large variant of Apthous Ulcers..

The medicine advised to you that is Lignocaine and Benadryl to rinse mouth to nimb is appropriate..
Along with it you can gargle with soda bicarb solution in water..
You can take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen..
You can also apply milk of magnesia over the Ulcer..
Take a soft diet and avoid spicy or hard foods..
Suck ice pops..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
