Hello,

Chemotherapy is known to cause vomiting which may last for days. And a throat pain is a common scenario following vomiting due to digestive juices.

You need to take extra precaution in diet - avoid hot & spicy foods, take bland soft diet, take smaller quantities at a time and at least have frequencies of food every 2-3 hours, good and nutritious diet.

Further you need to take Antacids like and Antiemetic till your therapy lasts. Ask your physician for the same.

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

Take care

Regards,
