Can you still drink fizzy drinks after being diagnosed with cancer in the throat

  • Yes but be aware that they are fizzy because they are "fizzed" wth carbon dioxide so have carbonic acid making them acidic which is bad for your teeth. Some have citric and phosphoric acid added too. It's all bad for your teeth which are in greater peril after radiotherapy anyway.
