I just stayed away from acidic foods and drinks as much as possible, but once I started to get sores in my mouth, my doctor ordered a magic mouthwash that was compounded. I got two flavors but I could only stomach the banana flavor.
You only have to hold it in your mouth for a minute and it works amazingly well.
I hope you are getting enough rest, and able to eat enough.
Will you please call on me anytime, and also keep me posted on how you are feeling? 💕

My integrative medicine doctor recommended honey and that worked for me. Manuka honey has many good properties, but it’s expensive. I just used local honey at the time in combination with the salt and baking soda gargle.

Best wishes to you.

The oncology nurses recommended 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp baking soda dissolved in 8 oz. (or 12 oz.?) water. I zap a little of it at a time to warm it up, then gargle and rinse. The rest stays in the refrigerator until I need it. This is helping so far, but I have only had one round of chemo. I'm told to expect mouth soreness to get worse with more doses of chemo.
I've read about mouthwashes from compounding pharmacies and will give that a try if necessary.

The nurses also have me suck on crushed iced during the infusion. It seems to be working.
