The cancer lingo is tricky. Mucousitis does not mean all that thick mucous, instead it means mouth sores. But it does cause mucous. Very few posters here on the forum take advantage of all the great knowledge on the Main OCF web page. Sure it's all in strict medical talk and vetted by Brian's boards (I keep trying to have him let me post my top ten lists without being so "correct") but in this case, it's helpful. Just click on this link to read all about mucositis and mucous from OCF
OCF mucositis In addition, I had samples of Caphosol given to me and they helped. There have been several posts about it but it's expensive and unclear whether any more effective than the home remedies given you and on the OCF web page above
It gets better
