Hi Nicole. I have heard of itchy skin being a side effect of immunotherapy. Is the throat spray an artificial saliva spray ( Glandosane). ? X
Hi chell, yes that’s the spray she was finally given yesterday but she said it makes no difference, or does it take a few days or a week to start working ??. Xxxx
How many times a day is she using it? I know you can use it more following treatment session, which is when symptoms are worse. Xx
