Mucositis
Mucositis is a condition that causes pain and inflammation of the surface of the mucous membrane.
Mucositis is usually a side effect of cancer treatment.
Mucositis can usually be diagnosed after a physical examination and a description of your symptoms.
There is no single treatment for mucositis, as it largely depends on which type of mucositis you have and exactly what caused it.
Some treatments can be taken before you receive cancer therapy to try to reduce the severity and duration of mucositis.
