How to get rid of the awful taste

Radiation is mean powerful stuff. I've got blisters and swelling and swallowing gets harder every day. I'm supposedly young and healthy so I really feel for anyone over 50 whow has to deal with this.

My biggest problem though as petty as it sounds is the horrible metallic taste in my mouth.
Eating is hard enough with everything tasting like an old garbage can.

I've tried rinses with different herbs and gone as simple as baking soda which seems to be the best thing going so far. There are a few foods I could easily eat if they didn't litterally taste like garbage!
Any ideas would be a great blessing.
