I had tongue cancer and surgery no rad or chemo. I was on Roxycodene for 2 weeks then to tylenol over the counter. The tylenol worked fine afterwards. I took the pain meds every 4 hours. The pain meds didn't put me to sleep it worked reverse, but that's me.
Your Dad should be taking the meds when prescribed it does help with the healing process.
Hope all goes well.
Take care,
Connie
