A member asked:

What is the best hydration (or other) protocol to prevent mucositis for pediatric burkitt's lymphoma? does it vary at different cycles?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mucositis: Hydration is very important in pediatric oncology but fluid requirements (ml/kg) differs by the age of the child. Mucositis is caused by fungal overgrowth in the GI tract caused by the oncology drugs and is a side effect of therapy. please discuss this with your pediatric oncologist.thanks
