Last night I experienced the driest throat I've had. When I woke up this am, it took about 15 minutes of rinsing with water and magic mouthwash to lubricate my mouth back to a reasonable level of comfort. About an hour later, I experienced the diametrically opposite effect: a sudden increase in the amount and thickness of mucus. I am 2.5 weeks post 33 radiation treatments (post-op for the successful removal of the squamous cell carcinoma from my tongue), and this feels like I am regressing in terms of my general comfort level rather than improving. Can anyone relate a similar experience and tell me how long it might last, and, what if anything you did to cope with it?
