Barb, I can't address the sweats, but the mucous issue is really tough to handle. Here are some things we kept in the house to alternate between. Gauifenesin, Musinex, Rincinol, Alkalol, Tussin [non cough formula] baking soda + salt solution, suction machine. Hyoscyamine is a possibile to try[we never tried it] John did try the scopolamine transderm patch, but couldn't tolerate it. Good luck. Amy in the Ozarks
