Do you know what’s the cause of your infection? Was it from the sores in your neck? When my husband was in treatment, we were taught to use saline soaks a few ties a day to dry up the sores and then to put cream afterwards. I’m not sure if it’s a good idea for you to try that now if you have an infection. But going forward, if you are going to continue treatment, it may be something to keep in mind.

I’ve read on this forum (from a post by PaulB) that the cancer re-populates after a certain number of days if the treatment isn’t complete. PaulB is extremely knowledgeable about oral cancer, maybe you could try searching for his posts. It was from maybe 3 or 4 years ago.
