Mariam, if the ropey stuff continues\gets worse over the next week, do ask about a suction machine. It is a very gentle suction with a small tube to insert into his mout: he does not have to let it touch his tongue or mouth tissues. His ins co. should pay for the rental of one, but if you can't find one, I will gladly send you the one I have. It really does give relief. Amy in the Ozarks
