While you are talking with the vet, you can ask about adding L-lysine and/or CoQ10 for immune support to stave off viral infections. Slippery elm bark, or marshmallow root, an herbal with similar properties and uses, simmered into soothing tea-like decoction can help the entire alimentary tract, from lips & mouth to sensitive anal tssues; however, due to the soothing coating action that might inhibit absorption, those herbs should be separated by 4-6 hours from oral medications.
FYI, my little cat Janie has stomatitis but her sores develop far back into her throat so several vets didn't catch on to the severity of her condition. During flare-up, the poor thing cannot tolerate oral antibiotics but a periodic course of antibiotics delivered via injection plus a steroid shot
& pain shot, allows her to eat and drink.
