My husband had a partial glossectomy on Wednesday and we aren’t sure the proper way to make a saline solution for his rinsing. Or is this something that should be bought pre-made. Thanks for your help

I found the information at the Dana Faber site. 1tsp to 1 cup. We wonder if it is more sanitary to buy something already made. I wonder if there is anything like that.

When I made the saline for the saline wraps for his radiation burns, I boiled the saline and let it cool down before I used it. You may want to check with your pharmacist if he is going to rinse his mouth with it.
