@opeggisu1 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I’m so sorry that a miserable condition brought you here. I posted an item from Cleveland Clinic that has some helpful things you can do at home for your mucositis.

I remember when I got mucositis after getting chemo. Wow, my mouth hurt! But I remembered the salt and soda rinse from my days as a cancer nurse. Take a cupful of clean water (you can use sterile or bottled water from the store) and stir in equal part of salt and soda. Then rinse your mouth carefully. Do this 4-6 times a day. If you read through all of the discussion, you will find quite a few self-help tips.
Did the dentist give you any idea of where the mucositis came from?

Thank you so much for your response. They have no idea how i got it. They sent me to a dermatologist and he did a biopsy and said it was Plasma Cell Mucositis. They said only 85 know people have it. It's very frustrating. They just don't know enough about it. I took steroids and now I have been taking cellcept for over a year and tacrolimus. My mouth is still inflamed. I will try the salt and soda.
