Thank you, Sandra Unfortunately the mouth sores are one of the most common side effects. I am on my third round and have had the mouth sores every time. Please tell him to ask his doctor for the prescription mouthwashes, there are 2 of them. They really do help. Also I use a toothpaste called Biotene and also a mouthrinse called Biotene which has a nice minty flavor. Good luck!

The toothpaste and mouthwash, are they a perscription ? My husband is to the point of asking the Doctor what would be his chances if he quit taking the med. I don't think that would be a very good idea. Thank you, Sidekick t Unfortunately the mouth sores are one of the most common side effects.

I heard this helps. Not sure about the salt part though. Maybe thats to dry them out. Good luck Private Reply Quote Reply to This Message Cindy611 Message: RE: mouth sores Caregiver Cindy611 Recommend this Message Report Abuse Email a Friend Track this Message [Remove] Subject: RE: mouth sores Date: 02/19/2008 The biotene isn't prescription and it helps but the prescription "magic mouthwash" works much better, it helps to numb and has antibiotics to heal Tom used to eat a lot of italian ice's it helped to sooth the sores Private Reply Quote Reply to This Message Tagml Message: RE: mouth sores Caregiver Tagml Recommend this Message Report Abuse Email a Friend Track this Message [Remove] Subject: RE: mouth sores Date: 02/21/2008 Please make sure they are checking his blood work as mouth sores are very much related to anemia. My husband has taken Sutent and Gemzar for almost a year and the only two times he had sores coincided with very low red blood to the point of anemia. Treated it and the sores went away...tagml Private Reply Quote Reply to This Message marivero Message: RE: mouth sores Patient marivero Recommend this Message Report Abuse Email a Friend Track this Message [Remove] Subject: RE: mouth sores Date: 02/28/2008 Try to wash his mouth with Kaopectate, Benadryl and Xilocayne in equals parts. Remember, only wash it every time after he brush his teeth. God Bless. Private Reply Quote Reply to This Message
