I had this problem too.
Soluble paracetamol,2 gargled before meals and swallowed. No more than 8 tablets a day though.
Hi
We are warned that it can be a side effect especially if the chest wall is being treated. I would go the route of paracetemol and eating soft foods. It should sort itself out after treatment finishes. Hope that helps I have had a slight burning sensation but nothing too drastic ....yet. I finished 15 rads Thursday and am now on 3 boosts

Had any effect the soluble paracetamol Elttiks? And how soon came the result? Do you have on the market pure soluble paracetamol?
I just called the pharmacy they have only solube paracetamol with vitamin C or Codeine, which should be tried ?
