Hi Mrs. V.
I seconfd Christine's idea of water/baking soda/salt rinse for the mouth, I did it for months after the treatment. I still have to chew meds. It does not work for time rlease but does for most other pills. Taste is pretty bad, maybe whacking my taste buds was good after all!
Hopes for a speedy recovery

Steve
