Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
Radiation-induced stomatitis is generally treated with medication. Ionizing radiation can damage the oral mucosa, leading to redness, swelling, lesions, and dry mouth. Patients may take medications such as compound borax solution, compound corticosteroid solution, and sulfate under medical guidance. If adverse effects occur during treatment, the medication should be discontinued promptly and appropriate medical intervention sought immediately.
