How are mouthwashes different from gargles?
Not a lot at all. Most mouthwashes can be used as gargles as most have a disinfectant or antibacterial solution, But some gargles are medicated and meant just to be gargled and not to be used as a mouthwash. I would say that Listerine would be both a mouthwash and a gargle, but Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) would be a gargle only.

If the treatment the doctor prescribed is not helping you should get back in to see him asap. at the very least he can tell you what you can do for some relief, they will usually do this without charging you a new office visit, and I have even had a lot of luck just calling the office and asking to speak with the doctor.
