Hello and thanks for posting,

I am sorry to hear about your sore mouth.

We do have information on mouth problems on our website

Do let your chemotherapy hospital team know about your mouth issues, and see what they recommend. They may be able to prescribe some mouth gels and mouthwashes to use that will help. Using soluble paracetamol at least 30 minutes before trying to eat can help with pain relief. There are other tips on our website with information that may help. 

I hope that this is helpful.

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Yours sincerely,

Vanda
