Rosie & Joe:
I have to sleep sitting up, due to this problem and I still have my epiglotis, but it is damaged and I am dysphagic.
I too would like to know more...
I have taken various expectorants to thin the mucous but they are difficult to find in stock, even in the big chain stores. I am going to the ENT clinic (VA) tomorrow for my monthly checkup.
