My Radiation Onc. also suggested a mix of tablespoon each of baking soda and salt, mixed into a gallon of water in addistion to the Miles Mixture. He said to constantly use this and swish and spit to provide moisture as well as help with the sores. It helped in the beginning, then there was a time I couldn't handle it. I reverted back to it as treatment was ending and feel it helped. As Wayne stated, keep him swallowing.
Best of luck to him,
