I still sleep in my recliner due to mucositus. Products like magic swizzle, etc are great but nothing manufactured is going to give him relief from this nagging side effect. On occassions when I have felt bold enough to try horizontal sleep I have paid the price by almost choking on mucous, not pleasant.
Common off the shelf "Tussin", an expectorant, helps more than anything. Taken four times a day, it thins the mucous.
Good Luck
