Anything like this that has not resolved in four weeks really needs to be explored further and not written off. I have transient things like this happen often but they seldom last more than a month. I’m 22 years out from initial treatment and while I have not had any recurrence, I have a constellation of other severe issues. Look on the OCF web site under complications of treatment and most of these apply to me, from a necrotic mandible 27 years out from radiation, to dysautonomia, that impacted my swallowing so I’m now on a PEG tube after all those years of eating normally, and caused the loss of my voice among many other things.
So having this evaluated by a new ENT that sees cancer patients as a head and neck surgeon, (not the ones that see kids with their issues), would be something I would encourage. This could be something else but erring on the side of not having it develop into a late stage find would be my choice.
