My sister has just completed her 15th of 30 rad treatments. She is developing a few ulcers on the tongue and mouth. We have the mouth rinses that numb the pain, but i was wondering if there is a topical gel or something for specific spot treatments. I was thinking Ambasol or Orajel but thought you guys might have some better ideas before I go by everything at CVS. Any thoughts?
