My wife had mucositis during her transplant too. It was the worst side effect of her radiation treatment. She had to get her nutrition by IV and she relied on Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for the pain. Ice and popsicles helped a bit too. Luckily, she was asleep much of those days.
The positive side is that it was temporary. Once your mouth and throat heal, you can go back to eating and drinking and it no longer hurts to swallow. By the time my wife left the hospital the mucositis was a bad memory and her new life as a cured patient had begun.
