Lin, i never had the issue, but immediately before starting my lenalidomide, my oncologist gave me a prescription for chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse 0.12% solution. He told me to use it as a preventative measure. Ask your oncologist for some.

I developed mouth sores & that went into full esophagus raw sores. I take Acylovir to counteract that. You oncologist can also prescribe a healing medication for the sores. Unfortunately I had an allergic reaction to that. Basically it’s an imbalance in your acidity/alkaline balance. I went searching to see if I could find another solution & found that increasing alkaline helps. I found a water bottle size filter on Amazon that makes your regular drinking water 95.5%. No sores since then. Filter lasts for 3 months.🤗

Ask you oncologist for prescription for magic mouthwash

Mary that sore was my fault. The SCT was not that bad. I will take a few days of discomfort for the overall pain I had been going through for months. It’s been 10 years since and knock on wood but I haven’t even had a cold or flu.

My Oncologist prescribed me Choline Salicylate, Lignocaine HCL and Benzalkonium Chloride Gel for mouth sores. It gave me relief only in two days. You also ask your doctor about it.
