[quote=Eshwar N]Hi Venkat, good to hear from you. Now since your treatment is over, try Papaya (Juice) to get rid of thick saliva. Continue to gargle and drink plenty of water.

You can now try Extra Virgin Olive oil. Just swish 2 tsp and spit. It will help you lubricate your mouth. [/quote]

Hi Eshwar,

I almost forgot about Papaya, the last time you told me. I have marked it now for immediate attention from my mother and family around.

I am able to swallow liquid foods which I am OK till I get around with the remaining ulcer on tongue. I will definitely try the Olive oil.

Could you please suggest any mouthwash that you might have used for your dad ?

Thanks
Venkat
