Anon, I forwarded your question to Dr. Theo Friedman, who is a specialist in the endocrine areas. Here's a link to his profile:

And here's what he said:
"A sore throat or some neck pain is common after radiation treatment. It should subside in a few days. Since yours persisted, I would see your physician."
Are you still having difficulty? Have you talked with your doctor since you posted?
