I am going to finish 2 weeks post my Radiation therapy. I still see my mucositis has not gone away and the the tissue at the back of my molars is still raw. I am not able to open my mouth more than 2 index fingers with great difficulty. Should I wait for the mucositis to heal completely before I start using Therabite ? If I wait, would I risk the chances of Trismus getting worse ?
