Hi Kellie, I didn't use Salagen, my radiation oncologist didn't suggest it even when my mucous was at its worst. About 4 weeks after treatment, the phlegm simply went away. My understanding was that the mucous is a side effect of the damage of the radiation to surrounding tissues and that as the tissues heal, the mucous diminishes. Best wishes for your sister's speedy recovery. - Sheldon
