Julieann: I'm a little behind in reading all the posts, but I have excessive mucus also. Here are some suggestions:

1. To increae "thin" saliva (which may help relieve the problem) see if you can find a acupuncturist that specializes in cancer. There have been several studies (Anderson, Texas) that have shown that acupuncture has helped to increase normal
salivary function.

2. My doctor told me to use "Tussin." (cough syrup just like Robatussin, but cheaper.) It breaks up the saliva for several hours.

I wish I could help more, but I'm also dealing with excessive muscus. But I also have the sores.

Good Luck
Sandy
