External radiation
Radiation
I finished a series of 36 radiation treatments a little over 2 months ago. I'm told I'm in remission although I still have issues with my throat, (swelling, pain, difficulty swallowing, etc.)
Saliva changes (thick saliva)
Side Effects
I finished 35 radiation treatments six months ago and am now in remission. I'm still having issues with excess phlem in my throat making it difficult to swallow some foods and pills. Is this normal?
