He could be experiencing some swelling from the treatment or even one of the medications. As with any symptoms, always inform the doctor. If this is in the case of swelling of his throat that is something that could need medical attention right away.
The RO (radiation oncologist) should be looking at images that are taken during treatment to view the tumor. It should be shrinking as treatments progress.
