Suggest Remedies For Severe Pain In Throat While Swallowing
Very hard to swallow, even when it s just water. I am in chemo therapy for breast cancer and I ve told my oncologist. He suggested it could be thrush and if it not gone by next visit (five days from now) he would prescribe an antibiotic. What can I do in the mean time to make the pain go away?

Hi welcome to HCM, try gargling with Alum, take a liquid antacid with local anaesthetic in it and keep it in throat for a while before swallowing. Apply Boro -glycerol to the back of the throat--regards
