Worked thru treatment, but cut hours down 3 to start.  I'm now 4 months post treatment and up to 5 hours a day.  I'm still having problems with mucus and sore throat and a mouth sore returned.  Started back with the salt and baking soda rinse.

    welcome

    JohnL1948,

    Welcome to the H&N forum, I am glad you made it through treatments.

    You sound normal as can be expected.  I would think the mucus and throat and mouth issues would start to resolve as you immune system starts working for you.  It seems many of us have something out of whack.

    Remember, if you are concerned, then visit your doctor.

    Matt

    Throat and mouth issues

    Hi John,

    I agree with Matt that time will find you improving. When I went back to work full time I used artificial saliva, over the counter spray, to help with mouth and throart issues and also with my voice as well.

    Keep believing in your team and time. josh r.
