Blisters in mouth & lips - treatment suggestions?

Posted by pat80 @pat80, 2 hours ago

I am half way through radiation treatment and now have massive number of blisters in my mouth and lips.The blisters are likely down my esophagus also. I have lidocaine 2% plus a magic mouth wash and I am using Juven for Wound Healing. The lidocaine helps some but the mouth wash goes away quickly. It takes Juven approx. 1 month to start working. Does anyone have suggestions for treatment that worked for themz?

I used a simple salt and warm water rinse, occasionally adding a bit of baking soda. It seemed to help a lot, rinsing about four to five times per day.
Those mouth sores can be nasty some days. Ice chips or cubes help as well, as a temporary relief from pain.
Sorry you are experiencing this already. It can be torture some days.
