Anemia=swollen painful tongue, home remedy options?

My HGB has dropped from 110 to 98 in the last 2 weekly blood tests, i believe due to increased sx that it has probably gone lower. Anyways, my tongue is so sore, i can hardly eat. Not that i am that hungry or able to eat much. Does anyone have home remedy ideas to ease the constant stinging pain?

There are many different sites for thrush.  Just look up " Thrush Home Remedies" on the web.  Problem is we aren't doctors and your symptoms are listed on the Victrellis website as serious a side effects. Magic Mouthwash is a Rx made especially for your condition by a Pharmacy.  I have used it many times in chemotherapy.  It's for mouth sores and a yeast type "white coating" you can get in your mouth from being ran down.  I have never had a stinging
painful tongue and need magic mouthwash.  Hope your doctor says you only need magic mouthwash.

Best to You

You need to call your doctor.  What is concerning is your tongue is so sore you can hardly eat.  I wouldn't try a home remedy without calling your doctor
first.  If your tongue feels swollen your should call your doctor now.
