Hi Paul, I had a very sore and blistered mouth after radiation. The only thing I could tolerate for a couple of months was white tea sweetened with sugar or non-acidic fruit juice (such as peach or pear). Actually tea worked better for me then than it does now. As long as I had problems with that thick mucous, the tea cut through it and I could actually taste the sweet fruit juice--when that went away and I had more problems with dry mouth, I found tea dried out my mouth worse. Once a little more of my tatse came back, chicken or beef broth and creamy soups also worked.
