I have EBV& B-CELL LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDER on the right palate in my mouth that is very painful. I have stage 4 Lymphoma and am undergoing tests before starting the chemo. The biopsy reveals significant numbers of EBV& cells which have a similar distribution as the PAX5 cells. Of course there is more- but although I have OxyContin 5mg to take 1 to 2 every 4 to 6 hours as needed- it s not really helping. Is there anything else that I can do for pain while I wait for the chemo to start? Ny gums are swollen and there is necrotic tissue and it seems to be worse every day! What about an antiviral medication?
Hello, I hope you are feeling better now. You may ask your doctor regarding Aventador PR for replacement of Oxycontin. Since you are already on high dose medication, I would suggest you to do saline rinses. Also apply a local anesthetic gel over the ulcers so that you get some immediate temporary relief. Maintain the oral hygiene.  Chat Doctor.  Vitamin B complex and It C would help in healing as well. Hope you get well real soon.
