Oral mucositis is a painful inflammation and ulceration of the mucous membranes lining the mouth, often occurring as a side effect of chemotherapy or radiation therapy for cancer. It can lead to difficulty in eating, speaking, and increased risk of infection, significantly impacting a patient's quality of life and potentially requiring medical intervention to manage symptoms.
