I am the same but got z lump feeling in my throat. MY mouth is full of thick slimy saliva and phlegm in my throat. It makes me feel sick.
I have the lump feeling in my throat. Had lots of tests. All OK. My nose streams when I wake up. Eating is a nightmare.
I never had radiotherapy. I had mine done by Simon Whitley

I have read that there are saliva substitutes available by prescription. Perhaps you should inquire from your ENT how to get started on this. I learned a lot about dry mouth by joining the group Support for People with Oral and Head and Neck Cancer (SPOHNC). They have some good publications and can be contacted online.
