HIMALAYA SALT MINTS MINT CANDY LEMON FLAVOR,you can buy them on Amazon worked great for dry mouth,and thin mucus I use them everyday ,make mouth moist instantly
They are a bit intense until your mouth adjust to them
Yes. I'm day 2 though.i hope it clears up. I'll be praying for your husband. I'm just trying to stay calm and hydrated. I'm blowing some of it out my nose before I lay down and clean my nose with a moist swab. It still seems to be stuck in my throat though. I try to keep my mouth closed when I sleep. I actually got some sleep last night .good luck. Send some tips if you got any. This is rough.....I had Tors surgery base of tongue and one tonsil not sure how many lymph nodes they took in the neck dissection.
