Default What can cure blisters/sores inside the throat caused by cancer treatments? my dad

can't eat due to the pain. Please help. He has had chemotherapy for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. It was successful for a while then they found a "minor recurrence" and is now undergoing a powerful treatment called Campath. It seems to be working, but the side effects are really making him weak and depressed...plus he can't eat due to the sores that have developed in his throat. these sores are in the way of his getting better...please help. How do we get rid of the throat sores/infection? He is on painkillers and has been given medication for it that doesn't seem to work...not even the good 'ol salt and warm water remedy....also...any tips on helping him through the depression? I know it's the medication causing it....he does want to be better....please help. Thank you very much.
