What is mucositis?

It is a condition that arises mainly due to the side effects of cancer treatments, which involve chemotherapy or radiation. Mucositis is a condition where the body experiences inflammation of the mucus membranes in the mouth and the entire gastrointestinal tract. Sometimes, this ulceration or inflammation becomes painful and even causes a burning sensation. Mucositis isn't a permanent condition but is categorized as temporary, which typically heals on its own.
