I have finished radiotheraphy treatment. Whoop whoop.
For the last few days, my saliva is foamy. I think it's because I swallow it before being able to clear it, but when I have a drink (whether orally or through the G-tube) my saliva foams up at the back of my throat making it hard to clear. I have huge sores at the back of my throat making swalllowing difficult.
I am using the baking soda/salt water rinse but I haven't been able to do it 4 times a day on top of the different physios I'm doing, mouth excercises, sleeping, eating, meds and obviously the 5 hour trips to and from hospital.
At night I can feel the mucus rattle in my stomach (grim) and last night I put some water through my g-tube and 5 minutes later I threw up loads of mucus with the water. It was awful.
During the day, when it builds up, I sound like I'm snoring and all I can do is swallow this foamy mass. I regularly gargle and rinse my mouth out. Any ideas?
