Sorry to know about your sisters condition. Most likely causes can be spread of cancer to brain which is called brain metastases or it might be decreased sodium in the blood. Psychological cause cannot be ruled out. Its best if you consult the treating oncologist soon.

Just look for whether she has mucositis generally cacit may cause mucositis. Also look whether there is any oral fungal infection.
