New Day New Problem

Yes. I just had to spit it out. My mouth was chewing the thick saliva into a foam unconsciously. A frothy mouth is a classic sign of xerostomia  

I used to go through rolls of kitchen roll  at night I just dropped the used tissue to the floor then collected it up into a paper bag to pop into the Rayburn  

Its fairly normal  

Drinking lots helps whether the intake is oral or via tube. 

Thanks. I’m getting nearly 2 litres of water in a day through tube plus feed. Just wondering if there is anything that can be given for it. How long did it last Dani?

If the froth then thick mucous is a real problem making you choke or nauseous then some people have been given off label Carbocysteine. 
I can’t recall exactly how long it lasted but definitely for a good couple of months after treatment end. It just stopped practically overnight when the surviving small salivary glands stepped up. 

I’ve been using the carbo stuff 3 times a day helps bring up the mucus but that’s about it 

It’s just patience. The foam is your thick saliva mixed up with air. 

Hi it’s common it gues as quickly as it came to be replaced with dry mouth. I literally pulled it out with my fingers gross as it sounds. 
I was prescribed carbusistine to thin it did it work nit really. I found soda water or flat Diet Coke rinsed round mouth helped. I was having 3 liters of liquid a day including like warm peppermint Rez in to feeding tube ti increase my uptake.
