Had Cancer In The Tonsil. Did Surgery With Radiation. Now Have Developed Salty, Foul Tasting In Mouth. Lost Ability To Swallow. Juices Burn.
I had cancer of the right tonsil surgery with 6 weeks of 2x daily radiation four years ago. I have developed progressively worse gooey, salty and foul tasting mucous in my mouth which nothing relieves. Even after brushing my teeth multiple times the goo remains. I have also lost the ability to swallow and subsist on liquids, basically tomato soup and chocolate pudding with an abundance of heavy cream. I cannot tolerate any drinks other than plain water. Juices and most flavors burn like acid. "Que Garne?" or what to do in Nepali.
