I know, Brian. My mouth is some better now, but for over a month it was so sore I could hardly chew; there were ulcer-like things on the inside of my cheek and my lips cracked on the sides. My general practitioner prescribed fluconazole
1-tablet pill because he considered it a yeast infection. The pill didn't work, but I had some Nystatin that I used a while back, and it seems to be working. I wanted to find out if I had a fungus or bacterial infection, or either. The mucus increased and thickened also. I'm not sure if increased mucus has anything to do with oral mucositis, or if my sore mouth is mucositis, but am trying to get an appointment with the UAB oral specialist who might be able to determine this. Thanks for your reply.
