I agree with the advice given above and be patient Also, avoid food that is acidic, spicy, sharp or hard and hot. I would frequently get painful mouth ulcers often triggered by something I tried to eat. My RO prescribed various mouth rinses and eventually a medication called trental combined with vitamin E to promote healing. I eventually had HBOT (which did help) but that was about 2 years after RT.
Good luck and try to be patient!
