Hello @rea721. Radiation can really leave the side effects. Mine wasn’t centered at my throat but I had ulcerations on tongue and inner cheek and the strange tastes. It took 6-8 weeks for the ulcers to heal up and the thrush was treated and went away pretty quickly once it was identified. It took 2-3 months before taste started to come back and it was a slow process. Even now 12 years later I am hypersensitive to salt and cannot tolerate very salty foods. I assume that will not change. Are you currently treating your thrush?

Hello Sue @sepdvm. Thank you for your reply. Yes, I am currently on Nystatin. I am 8 weeks post radiation and this is my third round of treatment for thrush. I'm hoping this will take care if it. I know thrush can also affect your taste so it may be contributing to my taste issues. I also had sores in my mouth from the treatments, but they cleared up around 3 weeks after my treatment ended.
