I have not started chemo yet, and hope oncology nurse will have some suggestions. Meanwhile I read that holding ice chips in your mouth as long as possible during treatment closes blood vessels and reduces the amount of chemicals entering mucous membrane in mouth. Maybe ask your nurse about this. Not sure if it’s medically sound, but sounds logical.

I used Oral mouth antiseptic rinse and it seemed to help.

My integrative medicine doctor recommended ingesting honey, which I did a couple of times a day. I think it helped as I did not have a problem. He also recommended the baking soda and salt rinse. I did that too so difficult to say which helped-maybe both.

Best wishes, Cindy
