Hi @lzzie, welcome to Connect.
Wow cisplatin was really rough on you. It's a tough drug. Here's some information about treatments for mouth ulcers http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cancer/in-depth/mouth-sores/art-20045486?pg=2

While it must be so painful, it is really important to keep the mouth clean because these sores will want to attract germs and can cause serious infection. What treatment have you tried so far?

Hi Colleen
Thanks for your reply. I have been using salt and baking soda mouth wash. Today I was given NeutraFluor 5000 plus toothpaste which has a stronger fluoride 5000ppm fluoride professional toothpaste and I have also been using a gel
