Hello,
I had too much cancer for surgery but I had the same issue resulting from chemotherapy and radiation.

Phlegm and mucus; I found hot water rinse, gargle, spit and rinse, swallow and hacking it up worked best for me. I’ve been doing this for 7.5 years!

I brush my teeth several times a day and also do the hot water regimen as well.

Coughing; I agree it was horrible and annoying for everyone. Tesselon Pearl(not sure of spelling) is what worked for me. The coughing eventually went away.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the tips regarding the phlegm and mucous... I'll try it today. Sounds like you have the routine down. So sorry you have had the issue for 7.5 years!

I looked up the info on Tessalon PERLE. Sounds like it may be good for chronic conditions but probably not while recovering from surgery. I'll keep it in mind. Blessings to you!
