Sore mounth

[Maludagui]

I need to remove those small blisters from my mouth as soon as possible. I have already lost 10 pounds since January. My mouth hurts a lot and I can't almost eat it. Thanks, Biotene doesn't help me anymore🌺🎀🌹

I find that using listen total care helps me..my hurts I let it set in my mouth for about 10 minutes..then waitfor about 30 minutes before anything else n my mouth..it helps

I asked a colleague of mine who is an oral surgeon and he swears by ‘Mucosamin’

I’m on Afinitor since Jan 1st and had only one ulcer...and apparently theses are the main side effects of this drug so I guess it works unless I’m just lucky

I always rinse with Curasept which contains chlorhexidine which is antibacterial

Can get both on amazon

Hope helps

I found 2 over the counter drug store options very helpful at eliminating mouth sores: Peroxyl & Closys. ❤️🙏❤️

Newzealand Manuka honey 30+ is brilliant for ulcers. When I have the odd one I put a little on and it clears overnight. Hope this helps.

I don’t drink often any longer, but if I have a glass of wine, it sets my mouth off. I try to stay away. The acidity of wine is too much for my body. Could there be something too acidic you’re eating that might be setting them off? It may totally just be the meds, but I thought I’d let you know what sets mine off. I hope you find something that helps.

I had stopped drinking even before I was diagnosed. I didn’t drink a lot, but it’s weird I stopped before being told I had Stage IV. I have tried a few times just to have a glass. I did have a glass of Merlot once that didn’t give me the canker sores. It’s just not my favorite.

Your oncologist or nurse can give you an Rx for this magic mix they all seem to know. It helps with sore throats too.

What helps me really well is a solution of salt, bicarbonate of soda and warm water 3-4 times a day. Usually they’re gone within a day or two if I do this religiously.

Sorry you’re going through dealing with these.

Sending all best regards,

I use something that I get at the cancer clinic and it is called magic mouthwash. It really works. I am from Canada so not sure if you can get it at every cancer center.

1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt swish and spit. Cancer mouth sore recipe,

What is working for me is oregano oil. Straight up, 4-5 drops under my tongue once a day, hold it in you mouth, coat the inside of your mouth with your tongue, then swallow. It will burn but the sites will be gone in a couple of days.

I had used a doctor's prescribed mouth wash when I initially had sores and I had my sores for 3 weeks, so, then I tried oregano oil.

Lysine helped me

My oncologist prescribed gelclaire sachets. It's a gel which you mix with water. It looks like wall paper paste but it coats the inside of your mouth and takes the pain away.

Hello, I also get mouth sores from treatment - here are a few things to try that I have tried. If it’s really bad that you are having trouble eating get a prescription from your oncologist for Lidacaine rinse - this will numb your mouth just enough to be able to eat so you don’t continue to lose weight. Magic mouthwash is also a prescription that will help at this level of sores. Also ask for a prescription of dexamethasone to rinse with 3-4 times a day - especially after meals. Brush and rinse with Cloysis which you can find at Walmart. It’s the only product I can brush or rinse with on the days of my worst mouth sores. Suck on popsicles or ice, drink ice water. I found some popsicles that are made with coconut water and fruit. Hot tea, coffee, etc will make your mouth more inflamed. When you are at treatment suck on ice- may sound a little crazy but I read an article a while back where Joan Lunden did this when she was getting her chemo and it helped her mouth sores - I’ve tried it and it seems to work. Recently, my oncologist gave me a couple more things to try - Vitamin E oil ( make sure it’s safe to be used in your mouth) - dab it on your sores. Two supplements she told me to try are ALA and L-Glutamine.

Take care, Rhea
