I will say that I think now part of the issue was I was unable to swallow any of my phlegm and this was an early sign of the swallowing problem I later ended up having which went unnoticed by my docs when it seemed to be just a phlegm problem. Are your husbands eating stuff yet? If so, then the phlegm problem is probabluy just a phlegm problem. If not, you may want to request a swallowing test soon.....
