When you have a PEG tube, it must be flushed everyday. Let me appologize for my complete lack of medical terms here. First fill a cup with warm water, cold will give you a stomach ache and hot will burn you. Use a syringe to suck up the warm water. Take the long tube part and fold it in half up towards the part top part where you put stuff in. Be careful or it will leak all over. Then open the bigger part of the tube and put the syringe in there. Only now is it safe to let go of the folded part of the tube. Slowly push the plunger of the syringe down until its empty. Fold the tube part in half again, now take out the syringe and refill it and do it again.

I hope you can make sense of these directions, its pretty hard to give them to you over the internet. Its something a nurse should have taught you in person. The peg tube needs to be rinsed at lease once a day. I did mine twice per day. Once you get the hang of it, you can even put medicines thru there instead of struggling to take pills.

Magic mouthwash is exactly what Susan described. I basically used it to rinse my mouth to soothe it before trying to eat. It will help numb your mouth so eating is easier and will help so your mouth doesnt hurt so much.
