My husband Dan had his 22 of 42 radiation treatments today. Today he has been coughing much more b/c the mucous is worse than usual.....I did give him some Robitussin, but wanted to know if I can give him more than the recommended dose on the bottle? It dosen't seem to do much, and he is sooooo miserable. He will cough and gag until it causes him to vomit. I'm going to have him try the squares of gauze between his cheek and gums tonight, but he has never had this before during the day. We are already using a humidifier, so I guess I will have to look into getting the suctioning machine for him. Which I will do tomorrow....but I wanted to see if anyone had any other recommendations for this awful problem???? Thanks,
Michelle G.
