I had earaches after my radiation treatments but the pain was not something I needed any type of pain medication for. I also had aching in my jaw. I have a feeling I am younger then your father so was able to handle the pain better. He is still only a few months from finishing treatment and it takes a long time to see a lot of improvement.
I would keep at the doctor about the fact that he is still in pain and where the pain is. He shouldn't have to suffer.
Take care,
Minnie
