Chetan,
I don't mean to butt into the conversation, but I used the baking soda/water several times a day, did not count the number. My MO said as often as you like. My RO said it would make my mouth drier so would depend on that. I had quite a bit of saliva for most of radiation so I used it without regard to that. I bought Manuka honey after treatment, and did try it on my sores I had afterwards, "hedging my bets" is what I called it. I think it does soothe them for sure. I only used the honey once or twice a day then. I will attest to the honey being tasty, now that I have more taste buds back.
I remember thinking the treatment time would never pass; it did! Yours will too. Look at it a day at a time, maybe a week, and it will seem to go faster.
Best,
Anne
