The heavy mucous should start to ease up soon. I think I had that problem for about 2 months. The more water you consume, the better. Swallow and stretch your mouth open as wide as possible several times per day. Try some musinex or robotussin to help break it up. Recovery is a very long road, sometimes more difficult than treatment. Hang in there, it will get better, just take it day by day.
