Hi Everyone, Finished RADS about 7 weeks ago. It seems that my sore throat may have gotten a little worse since I finished treatment. I am also wondering if starting to eat too soon after treatment might have had something to do with this? Maybe I should have used the tube longer giving the throat more time to heal? It does hurt when i eat and swallow. Anyway, I was wondering how long it took for your throats to heal and any suggestions for speeeding up the healing process. Again thanking you in advance for the help. CIAO!
