  schema:description "Some cancer treatments cause painful mouth sores. See a dentist first if you can, check your mouth daily, keep brushing gently with a soft brush even when counts are low, rinse with salt and baking soda rather than an alcohol mouthwash, and tell your team early about pain or sores. Depending on treatment, the team may add ice chips during the drip, a benzydamine mouthwash or a low-level laser."@en ;
