Painful mouth

Hi you  can get prescribed or buy liquid paracetamol  or crush the tablets and mix with water then syringe via ng tube. Was the coke diet ? I coukd just about tolerate diet but it was hard. Soda water allowed to go slightly flatter is better.  Try a saline solution 1 littre of water 1 teaspoon salt and same bakin* powder or bi carb put in a bottle rinse and spit should last you a  few days . To be honest there’s very little you can do with mucus I had a humidifier in bedroom and night and used a nebuliser 5/6 times a day. Plus carry copious amounts of tissue and spit into them. It’s yiur mouths way of protecting itself but yes it’s horrid. It was aeound week 6 of recovery before mine went onky to be replaced with the dreaded dry mouth.

Hi. I used soluble Panadol, let it go flat then put it through my PEG. Hope that helps. 

Thank you both Hazel & Blod  

I have liquid paracetamol and have been doing salt water rinses, But my question was ..

Catmarel said:

if i take the paracetamol through my NG tube, then flush the tube after {as the paracetamol is thick and sticky} will it dilute the paracetamol ?

 Because anything i take orally now makes the roof of my mouth sting like ......

It would be the same as having a drink after a dose of meds 

All my meds were in liquid form via my PEG followed by water. 

Hi no it’s no different than having a drink of water after orally taking paracetamol. My tube was regularly flushed with water ti hydrate me.

Hi Catmarel

I have always put my meds through my peg i found it easier and less hassle never had a strenth issue and always worked i never went on morphine but was on zapain four times a day and did the trick.

Probably will need your tube as you go along it will be a godsend did ask about putting my meds through peg and doc was good with it said it quicker than waiting for things to dissolve so in your system quicker.

Good luck
