It was @mindyt who shared her experience with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in this discussion in the Esophageal Cancer group:
– Excessive Mucus with Esophageal Cancer: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/excessive-mucus-with-esophageal-cancer/

@alpaca suggested "Soda water, sparkling water, ginger beer can help but are not good for the teeth. They sort of cut through the slime. Some moisturizing products like Oral 7 and Biotene can make the thick mucous/saliva a bit thinner."
