Related to coughing up blood don't let that freak you out. Remember that the radiation treatments are traumatising the interior of your mouth and throat to the max. I was spitting up bloody pieces of tissue towards the end of my treatments daily. As to what people have been using for burns I will let others post about that since since I went through all this 7 years ago, things have changed and improved significantly.
