Coconut Oil: A Natural Remedy for Medication-Induced Mouth Sores
Community Member
10 months agoIf you’re getting mouth sores from medications, purchase coconut oil in the baking aisle of your grocery store. Put some in your mouth and let it coat your sores. It’s ok to swallow (it’s for cooking) and can soothe your esophagus also.
