Suggest remedy for bleeding mouth sores
Patient: I have bleeding mouth sores. I attribute this to my chemo treatment for leukemia. I see my oncologist tomorrow but I fear this evening when I go to bed. It I seems that is when the bleeding starts. I am very careful brushing, drink a lot of ice water, swish my mouth with baking soda and water. Help. Doctor: Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. The bleeding sores could be secondary to the leukemia. in leukemia the platelet count will come down, that results in increased tendency to bleeding from gums or even minor cuts. consult a oral physician and get your teeth cleaned to remove the deposits because evn deposits will cause bleeding. You can use topical gum astringents like stolin gum paint to prevent bleeding gums. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
