    Hello everyone ... I am new to your site but unfortunately, mid-way through my treatment on chemotherapy. I'm currently on a course of Doxetaxol. I have found that it makes my mouth feel sore - kind of a raw, burnt feeling.



    Was wondering if folks have experienced this and, what - other than rinsing with baking soda and water - might be helpful? Have you found any mouthwashes that help?



    Food tastes different, eating things like tomatoe, oranges and such with the acid also hurts. Does this go away post-chemo?



    Thank you for any suggestions you may have ... smile, we can do this journey ...

    You should try posting to the chemotherapy getting through treatment thread...you might get some better answers.

    That said, I found that using Biotene mouthwash and toothpaste was extremely helpful.  The mouthwash in particular was very soothing.  

    Good luck to you, and be well
