My husband lacks 4 rads. Starting yesterday, he is gagging, etc on a sudden barrage of thick stringy mucus. He is very finicky & has not given into anything for rad burns, throat issues, etc. In fact, today, he finally let me crush a nausea pill & put it thru his peg tube. He is on 8 cans of Osmolite (350 calories per can) + 5 syringes of water with each feeding. He is using the baking soda/ salt solution for swishing. He is also trying some ginger ale. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I know these symptoms will not magically disappear at treatment end, so I really need some home remidies he might try. Thanks so much.
