I had mouth ulcers appear and enflamed gums 4 days after having the the vaccine, it was very painfiul and made it very difficult to eat. I treated myself with mouth ulcer pastilles Benzoin Tincture, then it dawned on me, so I asked a pharmacist, she looked it up on her computer and told me that it was a possibility as listed under rare side affect and to contact a GP. He said it was a possiblility as I had had treatment for cancer. He recommended to see a Dentst and use Difflam mouth wash or spray to numb my mouth. This has helped tremendously and I go back for a review in 2 weeks. Fortunately, they are subsiding after a week as I was very worried. I had successfully completed my cancer treatment for Folicular Lymphoma 9th months ago. Whilst on the treatment I took Aclovire 3 times a day to prevent this kind of thing.
My daughter has sent me a photo of her neighbour with similiar affects which look worse than mine. He is 70, currently undergoing treatment for spine cancer. I have a review appointment with my Cancer consultant on 6th Aprilso I will be able to discuss this further.
