Which is the most appropriate diet modification for mouth sores during cancer treatment?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Give soft, mild, and less acidic food
Oral sores and mucositis can make chewing and swallowing painful. Soft, moist, mild, and less acidic foods are usually easier to tolerate and can help maintain energy and fluid intake. Very hot, spicy, salty, sour, or rough foods may irritate the damaged mucosa. The exact texture and temperature should still be adjusted to individual tolerance and clinical advice.
