My Dad is now spitting all the time now. He finished his treatment in June of 2006. Had a dry mouth for a while. Had his ND in March of 2007.
He finds milk helps wash food down and hot tea gets out the mucus that sits in the throat. He says MouthKote helps with dry mouth at night; he keeps this at his night table. Since about Sept/07 he started getting lots of saliva and is spitting all day long now.
Best wishes,
LisaB
