@lizzyj58 For the radiation, they gave me gabapentin for the pain inside the throat. I did not need anything stronger. I was also offered magic mouthwash which numbs the mouth/throat to facilitate eating. I went to a liquid diet by week4 and did not need the mouthwash. For the exterior burn I used mostly a lot of aquaphor for moisture. They gave me topical lidocaine for burns and silvrstat for healing. I healed very quickly. For chemo I relied on antiemetics and rest.
