Listerine can be irritating to mouth cuts due to its alcohol content and strong antiseptic properties, which may cause a stinging sensation. While it can help reduce bacteria and promote oral hygiene, using it on open wounds may delay healing and cause discomfort. It's generally better to avoid using mouthwash on cuts and instead rinse with a gentle saline solution or water. If you have concerns about mouth injuries, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable.
