Me too...I rinsed a lot, drank a lot of water and spitted in a paper towel constantly. I used a water/salt/baking soda mixture that helped. I also took Mucinex and that appeared to help me. I literally thought it was going to choke me. I would spend about an hour in the bathroom before bed and another hour in the bathroom when I woke up just to clear the mucous. Hopefully yours gets better like mine did. It just recently slowed down for me.


Is it spitted or spat? Okay...I would spit in a paper towel constantly...or should i say rolls of paper towels
