Thank you so much. Thrush makes my mouth feel raw. I am still interested in finding out if anyone has a recommendation about the cough and thick mucus.

I have Sjogrens and I am fighting the other syndromes that accompany it. Cough and the thick mucus are also creeping up along with joint destruction and esophageal dysmotility. You need a good rheumatologist. I am no longer a family practice nurse practitioner as I moved to Canada. 14 years ago but oh, how I loved keeping up with the medical conferences sponsored by northwestern university/Chicago and Harvard medical school.

Guaifenesin which has various brand names such as HUMIBID, MUCOMIST, may be others for which I am not familiar, but in combination with cold and flu over the counter drugs. I take twice daily to keep the respiratory tree moist and NO DEXTROMETHORPHAN needed to suppress a cough. Moisture seems to be the key. Vaporization of your bedroom while you sleep may also be of benefit.
