Blisters and sores in mouth after chemo
I have esophageal cancer and started a new chemo regime that has made my mouth break out with blisters and sores. It’s so bad I can barely get any food down. Has anyone else experienced this? What suggestions do you have for dealing with this? Thanks!

Yes i get them all the time from chemo. Have you doctor prescribe you what they call Magic Mouth Wash. Works great.

1 ReactionSwish out your mouth after eating. There are OTC products or the good ole baking soda and water. Be vigilant.

1 ReactionI'm having the same reaction and my team recommended I use miracle mouthwash. This is a combination of three things at 60 mL then you take 5 mg up to five times a day and swish it and swallow. There is an article here about it. This is the name of the post. "Magic mouthwash: Effective for chemotherapy mouth sores?" Good luck.
Also, study about the vagal tone. I'm really interested in this and have been spending the last six months taking small family trips and reconnecting with friends. It seems to really be helping me feel better.
@tweagles, welcome. I believe you are referencing this Mayo Clinic article:
- Magic mouthwash: Effective for chemotherapy mouth sores? https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/chemotherapy/expert-answers/magic-mouthwash/faq-20058071
May I ask what cancer you're dealing with? Have you completed treatment?
