Mouth hurting

Anyone out there that has mouth sores or almost have mouth sores?  I do shot 14 tonight and have never had any problems until about the last week.  left side of mouth very sore and tender.  No open sores but feels like a bump or something.  Up at top of gum line.  

My Mom's remedy was to swish with kaopectate (dont swallow unless you cent go!  LOL!).

any suggestions!

I had mouth/tongue issues within the first 2 months of my tx.  My GI gave me a swish and swallow Rx called Carafate.  It cleared me up withing 2 days.  I've heard other people say that the kaopectate does work for mouth issues.

Good luck to you.
