Been doing so well after treatment but ....

Week three and started getting a few mouth ulcers, i thought I had managed to escape all but an odd one, can I expect more, only just started eating and swallowing, will bonjella be any good, I am using a steroid based mouthwash 3 x daily

So far ive missed a lot of the side effects after my tosnsil radiotherapy, except the exhaustion, which caused me to collapse outside of boots, had a really sore tongue but thats getting better and my tongue muscle isnt as stiff, still cant open mouth fully but not a prob, 

But can I expect more ulcers, ihope not

  • Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

    I am sorry to hear that you are getting some mouth ulcers now.

    We do have a useful website section on mouth care which might be of interest to you at the moment. These mouth care tips can help reduce the chance of developing further mouth ulcers.

    You can use bonjela, but do let your hospital treatment team know about your mouth ulcers. They can prescribe medications, such as difflam mouthwash, and aloclair mouth spray so you don't have to buy them. They need to know how these help you too.

    I hope that this reply is useful, and that it improves for you soon,

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
