Hi Tizz. It has been a while since Ive seen you here. Hope things inprove for you. Sorry you are goignthru a rough time not just yourself but also with your husband.

I would think that a combo of water, baking soda and salt should help with the mouth sores. I used 2 cups water, 2 tsp baking soda and 2 tsp salt mixture and rinse several times per day. If the salt burns his mouth either cut back the amount or omit it.

Best of luck with everything.
