HI
this is due to his immuno-compromised status.
please confirm that he remains properly hydrated, not overloaded for his cardiac status.
oral application of antibiotic combination + steroid will help.
gels with trade name TESS, OR CLENORA, or LISTERINE MOUTH WASH.
Application of oral glycerine will give an instant relief.
all the best
take care
