Good evening, my sister in law has had her first chemo and now has mouth ulcers, she has medication but I am wondering if this will reoccur following each session
It is difficult to predict the degree of side effects that someone will experience from treatments, as this can vary for them throughout the treatment plan.
Using soluble paracetamol can help, and there products such as Gelclair that can help ease the discomfort. Her hospital team can advise her, and can sometimes prescribe different medications to help with this.
I hope this helps,
