After chemotherapy, if you have an oral infection, pay attention to oral hygiene and rinse your mouth before and after meals. Avoid eating spicy or irritating foods to prevent stimulation of the affected area and resulting pain. You may also use medications under a doctor's guidance to relieve symptoms; commonly used drugs include multivitamins and iodoglycerol. Additionally, anti-inflammatory medications such as amoxicillin or cefradine can be used in combination.
