1. Rinse with 1:3 hydrogen peroxide solution
2. Magic Mouthwash (numbed his mouth)
3. Muguard (coated his mouth)
He also rinsed several times a day with Caphosel, artifical salivia. As well, he kept his lips well coated. The other thing that helped a ton, he slept at night with a c-pap strap on that kept his mouth closed. My husband had some mouth sores, but very little compated to others on the same treatment cycle at U of C. Hope some of this helps, Ana
