Suggest Remedy For The Burning Sensation In Mouth After Chemotherapy

Hi, my cousin is trying to recover from Endometrial cancer. She has had four chemo treatments and is now having a really hard time. Her mouth is burning and she is unable to eat anything as everything she tries seems to exacerbate the problem. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me some suggestions as of course she needs to eat to keep her strength up. Thank you so much. Katherine
