My doctors had me take a cough syrup every day to control the thick stuff. It did help some. It was Guaffinisan (sp??). It also helped to drink a ton of water and to sleep with my head propped up. In time it will resolve.
Glad to hear that your mom is done..........pretty soon she'll be offering advice to everyone else on here!
