Susan - I've made note of the chlorhexidine.

That's interesting about the prednisone. Was it for neck or facial swelling? I'm starting to worry about the buccal sore (RO nurse says it's not an ulcer) and swelling that has stopped improving. It is affecting my husband's ability to increase his diet. He is using magic mouthwash and gel claire for the discomfort.
