Hi Raymond, Danny G is right that there is nothing you can do with the mucus.I consumed a lot of tissues even a month post treatment. My husband thought that I was a tissue eater (grin).I needed to spit a lot and I didn't feel a significant dry mouth. When the mucus gradually disappeared, the dry mouth became dominating. Mouth sore would get better slowly but it is still with me now. Pain medicine helps to make you feel better and in my case, I stopped using it about one and a half months post treatment and have never used it again for the same reason.
