Biotene......
is what my oncologist suggested. They have a mouthwash and a toothpaste. I never had mouth sores though so I didn't try it. Maybe someone else on here has.

Biotene and Lidocaine swish
I'm so sorry that you have mouth sores, they are horrible. I use biotene toothpaste and mouthwash. Also, my onc prescribed lidocaine swish - it's a temporary fix, but boy for about 30 minutes I feel good. Also, the only thing that I can drink is super cold bottled water. Try to eat soft stuff like potatoes. I use a lot of cold sour cream too, for some reason this works for me. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Hugs,

Dawne

Hi Elizabeth,
Biotene also has a mouth gel and a mouth spray. Although, I finished my chemo in August, I am still having Herceptin treatments and a dry mouth.

Nystatin..
A good friend who is a maxillary facial surgeon prescribed Nysatin for me...it was great! Kept it in the frig...never had any mouth problems at all...Used it 4 times a day, especially about 30 minutes prior to eating...seemed to help my taste buds a bit...He also kept me supplied with Biotene which I also kept in the frig..the coldness felt so good...

Magic Mouthwash
Mine is called Magic Mouthwash, it's prescription, and it works well for me. Ask your onc about it.

Good ol Fashion Baking Soda and Salt
My Onc Nurse recommended rinsing 3 times a day with good ol fashion baking soda and a dash of salt. It's worked wonders for me. No real mouth sores... however, One day I felt one coming on and quickly used this mixture and it worked. It's inexpensive. I highly recommend it.

Wishing you all the Best!!!

baking soda and a dash of salt.......
is another thing my oncologist suggested for me to try. This is certainly the cheapest option. I think that Biotene is kind of expensive. My dentist gave it to me when I went to have my teeth cleaned before I started chemo so I had a sample. Used it twice and then stopped because I was lucky enough to never get any mouth sores.

Love and Light,
Vicki

I used biotene and
I used biotene and prescription peridex. Some people have found chewing ice chips during infusion avoids mouth sores.
