Extreme amounts of phlegm

Have you talked to your doctor about using saline with a nebulizer? I nebulize 3% saline with 500 mg reduced glutathione. One to two times a day and this routine has made a world of difference for me and my quality of life. I can now sleep most of the night without feeling like I am drowning, and can cough up the thick phlegm. This was all collateral damage from chemo/radiation for head and neck cancer.

I have heard about such treatments engaging saline nebulizers. One doctor recommended NeilMed Sinus Rinse or a NeilMed Neti Pot rinse. I see that a variety of nebulizers exist include 'misting inhalers' versus "direct saline rinses". Which can you recommend?

note: The Sudafed treatment I use began as a separate issue for when I took flights. I had to begin taking Sudafed 3 days before and after every flight due to extremely painful plugging in my ear canals.
