Hi,

You can take analgesics like Tramadol or Oxycodone for pain relief. Complete the chemotherapy and later plan for a CT scan to assess any residual lesion remains in the neck.

If there is any residual lesion left after the chemo, you can consult an oncologist and be evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
