Hina Khan diagnosed with mucositis

Yesterday, September 5, Hina Khan disclosed that she had been diagnosed with mucositis, a side effect of her chemotherapy. Hina explained that while she is adhering to medical advice, she is now suffering from this condition. Mucositis is the inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the mouth and gastrointestinal tract. It is a common side effect of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. Although typically temporary and self-healing, it can be painful, as noted by the Cleveland Clinic.

Despite following her doctor's guidance, the Hacked actress has reached out to her followers for "useful remedies" to help ease her discomfort. She shared, "Another side effect of chemotherapy is mucositis. I'm following the doctor's advice to treat it, but if any of you have experienced this or know any helpful remedies, please let me know. It's really tough when you can't eat, and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated."
