Any tips on getting rid of the bad metallic taste in mouth after FEC chemotherapy. My mouth is very dry and everything tastes like cardboard. Mouth washes are not helping either. Thank you in advance.
This may otherwise be thw healthiest bit I got small diced crystallised ginger fro Holland and Barratt and just kept in my mouth and this caused.my mouth to produce saliva and stopped from drying out
Try drinking pineapple juice or eating pineapple there is a certain enzyme that helps. Dry mouth pastilles which really helped to clear my horrible tongue and inflamed mouth eg Salivix Plus and also a toothpaste called Biotene. Wish I had found these pastilles sooner as they really did help me but I was due my last cycle of docetaxal when I heard about them. Used them day and night when my tongue was really yucky. My oncologist kept recommending manuka honey but I don’t like honey so didn’t try it. He said to coat your tongue and mouth on it or suck on a spoon of it. Good luck!
