Mucus

Hi Alan. Yes it does stop. Mine stopped in a couple of days when it did finally dry up. I used to keep a kitchen roll and a large paper bag by the bed. I spat in the night and everything went into the Rayburn in the morning. Through the day I just took the kitchen roll with me. I knew it would happen so just went with the flow. 
Diet cola and diet ginger ale did loosen it a lot. 

PS frequent sips of water are useful as well 

Hi Alan I had a nebuliser which helped a bit. It does go often replaced with the dreaded dry mouth. I was also prescribed carbusistine to try to thin  the mucus down. 
Hang on in there it does go I also used soda water to drill round my mouth. Let it go a bit flat of the bubbles hurt.
