Did anyone tell you to try salt/baking soda and warm water. It will help rise the heavy mucus out of mouth. I used this when I was in treatment. Some people used bottled club soda, room temperature.
Swallowing takes time. Keep trying everyday to swallow even a sip every hour. It is important for the muscles and to keep the throat open.
Hope this will help.
Take care
