Mouth Sores
Hey guys its Joey. So i have a couple of tips that can help with the chemo process. A lot of the time you will tend to have some bad sores in your mouth. These sores make it very tough to eat, but i found the best solution is this wonderful liquid called “magic mouth wash.” This stuff does wonders. All you need to do is swish a little in your mouth about five minutes before you eat, and most of the time the soars will not effect your eating. You can ask your oncologist for this mouthwash. Another tip is to find a toothpaste that doesn’t contain alcohol. This will keep from burning your mouth since it will be very sensitive throughout treatment. Goodluck to you all.

The “magic mouthwash” is also called Powel’s Solution. Powel’s Solution has the exact ingredients - benadryl, tetracyclin, hydrocortisone, Nistatin - but Powel’s may also contains Lydocaine to help with the pain. It its miraculous stuff. A good probiotic is beneficial also. You can get this from a compounding pharmacist - and can be prescribed by a dentist or doctor. P.S. excuse spelling errors - some of the drug names are difficult.
