Mouth sore or Mucositis?

[Snowcone16]

Hi all,

I’m finishing up my 3rd week of MATCH trial on Erdafitinib. For about 8 or 9 days, I’ve had what feels like a “burnt” roof of mouth. Like after you ate a piping hot slice of pizza. The little center line down the roof of my mouth is swollen. Is this the mouth sores side effect or something else? I always thought mouth sores were like canker sores. Anyway, it’s driving me crazy and pretty painful.

Did they give you script for. Miracle mouthwash

Yes, I’m just starting to use it. But I was more curious if this roof of my mouth soreness was actually a side effect or something else.

I suspect it’s a side effect as it is very common with numerous chemos, cells simply get damaged

I too get mouth sore from some of the meds. Doctor gave me a paste to put on them, but hard to apply. I bought Orajel antiseptic mouth wash for mouth sores. And it really works good. Took my sore away and numbs the pain. Over the counter.
