Sore mouth
Another word for sore mouth is mucositis. Sore mouth particularly towards the end of radiotherapy is common. There are various things you can try such as:
- Gelclair (Cambridge Laboratories) concentrated oral gel 15ml. This forms a protective film that helps provide pain relief and soothes mouth lesions.
- Caphosol is another new product for mucositis.
- MuGard this is a new product for mucositis. It gives a protective layer over the oral mucosa.
The Mouths Made Good website has been created for anyone who wants to know more about oral mucositis.
