Hi again :) my mom is currently one week post radiation and 2 weeks post chemo. She has oral cancer with one lymph node affected so the radiation shot straight at her upper neck. Right now, she’s in severe pain and describes it as someone cutting the inside of her throat with a knife. Do any of you have any home remedies for throat pain? Her doctors prescribed liquid morphine and not even that is helping her. We are going to request a different pain medication but wanted to see if any of you have any ideas.

Side note: if any of you are experiencing rawness on the outside of the neck, we have been using emu oil and it seems to help with the itchiness and pain!

Thank you in advance!
