Hi! Everybody, I am on Mtx 15+ Folic Acid 2mg. The day after I take my Mtx the inside of my mouth is sore in some places. What is a good thing to use to help get rid of my mouth sores? Thanks for any help... Paul
My Mom always says warm salt water, but I find my mouth will feel like it's sore one day and feel ok the next....swishing with buttermilk helps mouth infections (I think it's a yeast thing)...some of these meds have the same effect as chemo....which will make you more apt to get infections. Yogurt is good also.....it balances the ph in your body.

Hi Paul, I always got sores with mtx. I would raise my folic acid and they would clear up pretty quickly. Just double your dose. Good luck. MOUTH SORES REALLY HURT
