Ask your Oncologist(s) for a prescription for "Magic Mouthwash". It has lidocaine in it and numbs the mouth and is safe to swallow for a sore throat. It's very effective for me even 1 month after treatments are done. Still get the sore mouth, cankor sores etc. I've also used Anbesol.
I wish you good luck.
