ejpritz Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Has anyone ever developped extremly bad breath during or after chemo treatments? My mother finished her cycle about 2 weeks ago. It is not a matter of hygene I do not believe. The odor reminds me of my grandmother's breath when she was dying, it is unbearable and it is noticeable thoughout the whole room she is in. I did not know if anyone had a similiar experience and new some tips or if this is something to be concerned about. thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don M Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I think I have heard of others having bad breath associated with chemo. I googled chemo and bad breath and came up with a lot of hits. When I had my chemos, I went to have my teeth cleaned and told the dentist I was about to have chemo. He recommended a mouthwash to me, but I can't remember what it was. I am sure others will have some suggestions. Maybe you could call your mother's dentist and ask for a mouthwash recommendation. Your mother's oncologist should probably be made aware that she is having mouth problems too. Don M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
