What should I do to treat the mouth sores that have developed while I am recovering from COVID-19 and taking steroids (with my dose recently reduced from 16 mg to 4 mg), multivitamins, Vitamin D3, and Pantocid?
It is very common to develop mouth sores while recovering from COVID-19, especially when taking steroids, as they can temporarily lower your oral immunity and lead to ulcers or mild thrush. Since your steroid dose is safely decreasing, reassure yourself that this is manageable. To soothe the pain, gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times a day and avoid spicy, acidic, or very hot foods. Please continue your Pantocid and vitamins. I highly recommend contacting your prescribing doctor, as they can easily examine your mouth to determine if a simple generic antifungal rinse or a soothing oral gel is needed to help you heal quickly.
