<s>[INST] Finished radiation two weeks for vocal coard cancer. Stage one squeamish cell. When throat is dry and burning during night, I coughed, it burned, and I then spit up some blood. Has not occurred again. I do bring up a lot of reflux during night. Last night it appeared to have a ting of blood color along with yellow mucous. [/INST] The dryness in throat is due to radiation induced effects on mucosa (lining) of throat. Inhale steam for 10 to 15 minutes thrice daily. Maintain good hydration with good fluid intake. A short course of NSAIDS pain killers will also help.The acid reflux is GERD (gastro esophageal reflux disease). You need to reduce the acid production in your stomach with a PPI proton pump inhibitor like meprazole or esomeprazole and increase the motility of your gut with a pro-kinetic drug. Raising head end of your bed slightly will help. Try sleeping in right lateral posture to promote stomach emptying.I hope it helps. Please discuss it with your doctor. </s>
