Muzzy64 Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 On 4th Folfirinox cycle. Experiencing very sore mouth, finding it painful to swallow, any ideas about how I can get any relief?
MSH Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 I was given Difflam oral rinse for this though never actually used it. I did get some mouth ulcers for a few days after the latter few cycles. I used Corsedyl mouthwash regularly, unless the ulcers were too bad.
Cathy Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Hi MuzzyYou poor thing.Yes, ask for a prescription for Difflam. Jonathan had mouth ulcers and a sore mouth and this did help. I also bought him some mouth ulcer pastels (from Superdrug) which also helped a little I think. Oh, and he used a chapstick for his lips too as they got a bit cracked in the corners of his mouth.Don't use a mouth wash with alcohol in if you can.Hopefully your mouth will feel more comfortable as the cycle continues.Cathy xx
