radiation 4 throat cancer 1 yr ago damaged tongue/taste buds. food

burns/hurts can this be healed? My partner underwent chemo.radiation for throat cancer, Treatment ended a year ago and was successful. So far he is cancer free. BUT almost everything he tries to eat or drink either burns, hurts or tastes bad. The tongue appears red, raw and burned. The doctors say "hmmm, should be better by now." But it's not. When pressed, the doctors just say " it will heal in time, or else it won't.": Does anyone know how to heal this damaged tissue?
