Yes that's one standard way that vets treat it. But when it gets bad
you can't just increase steroid dosage without some other risks.

Subject: [Felvtalk] stomatitis
Hi. I'm fostering an FIV+ cat right now who has pretty bad
stomatitis. We had his teeth cleaned and 6 of them removed, and
after a few weeks of antibiotics post-dental surgery he was doing
much much better-- eating a lot more, gained 3 pounds in 3 weeks,
not seeming to have any mouth pain and the redness was all gone. We
stopped the antibiotics (which had been clindamycin then switched
to clavamox) and he remained ok for a few days. He then went to a
potential adoptive home with another FIV+ cat. A week later she
called for us to get him back, largely because his mouth got really
bad again. He is back on Clavamox, and has been for a few days, but
is growling when he eats and can only eat wet food that we break up
into very small pieces. His gums are very inflamed again. I had 6
FeLV+ cats, but was lucky that none had stomatitis like this. For
those of you whose cats have it or had it, what do you recommend?
thanks,
Michelle
