Hello,

looking for some advice for my mouth. I’m on immunotherapy and I am really struggling with how sore my mouth is recently! I have ulcers on my gums, and my tongue and roof of my mouth is red raw! I’ve been given gelclair sachets and difflam mouthwash, and am using bonjela. They ease it a little but it’s not great:( just seeing if anyone has used anything that really helped? Thanks x

  • Hi Hannah1996, I am on immunotherapy mines Nivolumab my mouth has been very sore but has improved alot the last few weeks, using the same as you, but I also rinse my mouth with warm salt water. My drinks are warm not hot or too cold. The ulcers were on my inside cheeks there gone. Gums still red and have had a tooth come out and a loose one. It takes time, but we need to keep up the treatments.  Take care.

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
