mouth sores
The xeloda is causing my mouth to be really sore. I can't see any white spots or any break down in tissue, but the insides of my cheeks, roof of mouth, sides of tongue, and gums are really irritated. I'm having trouble eating, brushing teeth, etc.
I read about ideas on previous posts. I've bought Tom's of Maine toothpaste - that is painful too. I've also got the biotene rinse and have a script for magic mouth wash. The magic wash(maalox, lydocaine, benedryl) helps a little but the maalox stuff is not pleasant. I'm also trying baking soda & warm water. Also taking ibuprofin. The onc. nurse said they could prescribe vicodin for pain, but that seems like over kill at this point. I've also read a post on mycelex trouche and may ask for a script for that.
Any other tricks and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Pam
