The groups are named as group A- mouthwash without zinc chloride (control group) (Listerine mouthwash- Alcohol, Benzoic Acid, Caramel, Methyl Salicylate, Poloxamer 407, Sodium Benzoate, Water (eau)) & group B- mouthwash containing zinc chloride (experimental group) (Lupident mouthwash- zinc chloride, chlorhexidine gluconate, sodium fluoride), containing 21 in each group. subjects included in the study will be selected by using inclusion and exclusion criteria. oral mucositis scores will be recorded by using world health organization criteria for grading of oral mucositis. baseline data of oral mucositis score will be obtained using clinical examination and mouthwash will be provided to the subjects included in the study. All subjects will be instructed to use mouth wash given to them accordingly (i.e; ZnCl mouthwash for experimental group and mouthwash without ZnCl) for every 8hrs for 2 weeks. At the end of 2 weeks all the subjects in both the groups will be examined for oral mucositis scores. Comparision of both the groups will be done using statistical test
