Arnie,

It took about 6-8 weeks for the thick stuff to go away. It gradually got thinner and thinner. Lukewarm water was the best thing for me. Baking soda helped dry my mouth for awhile too. It's the biggest complaint I had during and after radiation. We've almost all been there. It will get better
