Oral mucositis can generally be treated with medications. Therefore, patients should use targeted antibiotics, antifungal agents, and antiviral drugs, as oral mucositis can be caused by bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. With effective treatment, oral mucositis can be managed successfully and will not affect daily life.
