Urgent: Side Effects of Hurricaine 20% Solution - Benzocaine Warning
I've been using Hurricaine 20% Solution for my canker sores, but I'm starting to worry about the side effects. The package insert mentions some really severe symptoms like methemoglobinemia, which can be life-threatening. Has anyone else experienced any of these side effects? I've had a bit of irritation at the application site, but nothing too serious so far. Should I be concerned, or is this normal? I definitely don't want to risk something as serious as methemoglobinemia, but I also need relief from the pain. Has anyone had any issues with allergies or other serious reactions? I want to make sure I'm using this safely.

I think Hurricaine is great for short-term pain relief, but if you're experiencing anything out of the ordinary, don't take any chances and get checked out.
I've had a couple of canker sores and the irritation doesn't seem too bad. I might be stuck in denial, though, and not acknowledge it. Might just use it to get through the day.
Has anyone tried alternative remedies? I've heard clove oil works well for toothaches.
Methemoglobinemia sounds terrifying. I had no idea benzocaine could cause that. I might just stick to ibuprofen from now on. Thanks for the heads-up, OP.
