That will seriously help wit the mucous and will help with general mouth health. You can add biotene mouthwash or salt or whatever to the water well of the water pik. Just open your mouth and let the water drain as you aim the Water Pik all over your mouth and back of your throat. It has been a Godsend for me! Give it a try.
I'm leaving on vacation on Sept 4th but will be checking in every few days to see how you (and everyone else) are doing. Your angels are on duty Jim.
