Hi Anne:
I think I know what your hubby is experiencing, although I could, and still can usually get the mucus out. Till this day, and it's been over 2 years, I still have so much mucus it makes me sick to my stomach. Others who are on the Forum haven't had theirs this long, while a few said they had. So, maybe hubby will be one of the lucky ones. I've found that sucking on sugar-free Ricola Lemon Mint Herb throat drops helps. You can find them at most grocery/drug stores, usually in the cough drop section although I don't think they're cough drops. Hope this helps and the best to you both.
