Magic Mouthwash

I used magic mouth wash for just one day. After that I kept a glass of salt water in the kitchen and in the bathroom - every time I went into those rooms I rinsed my mouth out real good with it. When my mouth sore were at their worst they cleared up quickly by me holding salt water in my mouth.

So the Magic Mouthwash wasn't any good for you?

Wow, it seems the salt water would sting!
Thanks for the input!

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.
