Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 28 | I have had my NG tube out on Monday, when I sleep on my side and relax I notice that just as I drift off and become comfy I notice a tickle in my throat which starts me off coughing.
I have put it down to lack of salvia as making some tends to remove the problem and stop the coughing.
I have biotene replacement gel any other suggestions? to soothe the windpipe and help me sleep.

Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 28 | Thanks at my check up this week I was told it was called nasal drip. The cause being a runny nose caused by chemotheraphy, dripping on the back of my throat, like most things it has got better everyday.
Many thanks
