Re: [cancercured] Systemic yeast infection

When I had similar sores, the oncologist prescribed "Magic Mouthwash".

The pharmacist knew just what it was, and mixed four things together. It
was very effective.

Here is an explanation from Google:

"Magic mouthwash" is commonly prescribed for conditions such as
chemotherapy/radiation-induced mucositis, canker sores, mouth pain, etc. The
logic behind magic mouthwash is to combine ingredients with different
potential mechanisms of action to treat a variety of oral conditions. There
is not a standard formulation for magic mouthwash and problems can arise
when patients receive a product different from what the prescriber intended.
There is also a potential for allergic reaction to one of the ingredients if
the formulation dispensed is not intended by the prescriber. Although there
is no evidence that magic mouthwashes are effective, different formulations
of magic mouthwash continue to be prescribed. This document provides a list
of common magic mouthwash formulations and the rationale for each ingredient
used.

There are numerous magic mouthwash formulations. Most contain at least three
ingredients. Concoctions may contain a combination of an antibiotic (to
reduce the bacterial flora around the lesion), antihistamine (for local
anesthetic effect), antifungal (to stop any fungal growth), steroid (to
reduce inflammation), a local anesthetic/pain reliever, or an antacid (to
enhance coating of the ingredients on the mouth).
