Get a suction machine from medical supply. You need a prescription from a MD if you plan to use insurance. If not, most medical supply companies will allow you to rent them. My dad has 11 more radiations and 1 chemo to go-that machine REALLY helped him when he has that.

Dad Treated for T2N1M0 Tonsil Cancer August 2005. 35 IMRT radiation, 3 doses Cisplatin. Selective Modified Neck Dissection November.
