It's probably due to the fact that you're still only 2 weeks from the end of radiation. When I was at that stage, EVERYTHING stung my mouth -- even plain water. The lining of your mouth can take months to heal, and you have to keep watching out for thrush, which can add to the pain and burning sensation.
