Mouth Sores from chemo: When do they go away?

Posted by walkingmom @walkingmom, Dec 24, 2022

Any suggestions for mouth sores? Mine started a few days after my first infusion of Taxotere and Cyclophosphamide. Am using Magic Mouthwash consisting of lidocaine, maalox and benadryl with baking soda, salt and water rinse in between. Day 4 and no relief. For those of you who've had them, do they not go away until all infusions are complete? If so, I don't think I can handle it 🙁

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Cancer: Managing Symptoms Support Group.

So, magic mouthwash helps my mouth sores. Lucky me! But my LIPS! OMG! Any suggestions for how to heal my lips? I am using Vaseline, Manuka, and an avocado healing cream from AOS Skincare, and nothing is helping. I lost 5.5 pounds this week!
