Thankyou for the Question,
I have gone through your whole history,i did not get it why did you needed radiation therapy in ICU.Did u have thyroid problem for what you got radiation therapy?
As per your question yes radiation can cause sorethroat,or ear pain depends which part of your body got radiation.For instance,if you get radiation to your head ,you might have hair loss,or if you get radiation to your chest ,you might have a cough or sore throat.
other side effects can be tiredness,skin changes,appetite loss etc
