Try Mucinex for the saliva, IF you can manage the big tablets which (being time-release) cannot be cut up or ground up. If these are too hard to swallow, try guafenesin syrup (sold over the counter as "Tussin" or similar, be sure it is ONLY the guafenasin, no antihistamine which will dry your mouth even more!). The thick syrup will burn if you have any mouth sores, dilute the dose with 4-6 oz. water and drink (it can also be put through PEG, again very well-diluted as it's thick and sticky). This med seems to thin secretions and makes it a lot easier to get them "up and out!"

As for dry mouth, the best prescription medication is Evoxac -- ask about a sample or script from your ENT or oncologist. My husband Barry used it 3x a day from the end of treatment and now still uses it once a day or sometimes, even twice if the air is very dry.

Chewing xylitol gum also helps, again the best is XyliMax which is a dental product designed to increase mouth moisture and also, reduce mouth bacteria (and hence, cavities). Get it from your dentist or internet, doesn't require a prescription. Barry has found it far superior to artificial salivas for him, the added plus is it's your own saliva.

Finally, be sure that you drink sufficient water (needed to also thin that saliva) and use a humidifier.
