What is mucositis?
Mucositis refers to inflammation (i.e. ulcers, painful sores) of the mucous linings of the digestive track. Mucositis is a side effect of some chemotherapeutic drugs, biologic response modifiers, radiation therapy, and/or surgery. Mucositis also may interfere with eating, talking, taste, chewing or swallowing.
