I agree with Anne (the MD)
Depending on the true nature of the problem. carafate may be a another
alternative to try and coat the area maybe making mom more comfortable.
however the pills are kinda like horse pills that dissolve very quickly in
the mouth (can be dissolved in water first & swallowed -- cheaper than
premixed liquid). This was my chosen research drug way back in my pharmacy
clinical days. The controversey is still on whether it really helps or not.
