Yes, and twice a day, I’m also still irrigating with NeilMed and then gargling with salt water. (I don’t have to use steam anymore though.) Right now, I still get phlegm in my throat, but it’s manageable. I would strongly recommend you also try the xylitol gum. I found that when I used to gargle and spit for hours, my body seemed to be frantically producing more mucus to replace that which I was frantically coughing up and spitting out. Now, after about 15 to 20 minutes of spitting, I’m able to start chewing a piece of gum and this stops the body from continuing to produce more mucus. It seems as if the small amount of mucus produced when we chew tricks the body into “thinking” that it doesn’t have to continue making the massive amounts of mucus it had been producing. Something like that.
