Most people seem to be using baking soda and/or a mouthwash called chlorhexidine gluconate oral rince .12%.
I made the post because there seem to be a number of people who have persistant severe mouth problems that don't resolve with the above routine solutions. I thought that it might be an alternative that they could explore.
You must use the dexamethosone as a mouthwash daily as prescribed. Then you suck on the lozange between times as prescribed. You would have to speak to your doctor to get the prescription.
I spoke to the difficulty of getting these medications in Canada. I don't know how easy/hard it would be in other countries. I am sure you could resolve any issue simply by getting the pharmacy to order.....or there are the internet pharmacies.
I would suggest that you try the easy stuff first before you pull out the big guns that I suggested.
