GVHD - Burning mouth/tongue
Hello all! Just wondering if any post transplant pals here have experienced dry mouth resulting in burning tongue and lips? I guess my main question is if you have come up with something on your own to aid in the relief for this. My husband has tried the usual rinses for dry mouth, lozenges, etc. The dry mouth has led to cavities for the first time in years! I guess none of realized the importance of saliva.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
