My husband suffered from severe mucositis. At one point he could not tolerate rinsing with water/baking soda/salt solution or any solution.
A nurse suggested warming up the solution and that did the trick. Several seconds in the microwave took the chill off. I don't think I've seen this discussed on the forum.
