Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 17 | hello, out there- My latest problem with radiation is that the mucus is getting very thick and I choke and gag a lot. My nurse suggested Robitussin which seems to help a little but doesn't eliminate the problem. Has anyone discovered any other solutions to thin the mucus or otherwise help cope with this problem?  | | |

Use the message board search engine and search under these different words. You will find many posts on the issue. I sure that someone will give you a personal answer, but this is a beginning.
