Mouth ulcers and tongue sores
I’m only a week past my first chemo and I’ve already got a few mouth ulcers and sores down one side of my tongue. Can anyone suggest anything to numb it? 🤞🏻

I was advised to rinse my mouth and gargle with a weak bicarb and water solution. Not sure if I was just lucky or if this kept mouth sores and ulcers at bay. I think it was 1/2 teaspoon to 1 cup of water, made a fresh supply each day, with cooled boiled water
