Swallowing feels like razor blades

Initially his radiologist only gave him maalox and lidacaine to swish and
gargle. Even though we told him our insurance would pay for magic
mouthwash. Can magic mouthwash be swallowed or just gargle?

I started using Omnilux Neck and Decollete red &
near infrared light therapy device for the wrinkles on my neck daily. I realized a few days later this must be the reason I was eating faster since I was doing nothing else different. My throat didn't hurt as much anymore and it was so much easier to swallow. The near infrared red goes deeper than the red, but they both are used to decrease inflammation for many situations(wounds, injuries,etc.)
I chose this one because I can walk around without being plugged in and it was on sale.

I don’t know the answer to that question other than to say I believe it is swallowed after rinse and gargle. I have not used it.
Perhaps someone who has used Magic Mouthwash can answer.
In addition, gage progress to recovery on a week by week basis rather than day to day. Is this week better than last? Is this month better than last? We often expect quicker results in recovery from illness or injury but cancer recovery is very slow.
