Hi Terri
I tried several remedies and settled on warm salt water.
I used it morning and night and several times inbetween.
It helped a lot.

I was also given ice chips or popsicles during my treatment.
This is supposed to help prevent the sores. You are going
on FEC and the "F" is famous for causing mouth sores.

Make sure you tell your chemo nurse if the sores end up in
your throat. If so, there is a mouth rinse that you swish
around and then swallow.
