Hi kahoun1,

In addition to @jersey3422 helpful comments, I had 35 rounds of radiation for a total of 70Gy (7 weeks) and 3 rounds of cisplatin chemo for left tonsil cancer back in 2008 and I did research then and found in an England Journal of Medicine that honey could help soothe the throat. I did shots of real honey not the ones you find in your local grocery store which most all are synthetic and don’t have the same benefits. It definitely took some of the edge off for me.

I would use Manuka honey which you can find on Amazon that scores at least UMF 10+ and MGO rating of 100+ are considered potent enough for medicinal use- UMF ranges from 10 to 25, the higher the rating, the more potent the benefits are, and of course, the more expensive, the honey.

Hope this helps and you will get better. Good luck on the journey.
