I have seen a few posts on cough and mucous. Firstly it is an unpleasant side effect that I do not miss. Still get it a bit after 6 weeks post treatment but keeping well hydrated definitely helps. Also hospital lent me a nebuliser and that does help loosen things up. It does get better so if you have that problem it will improve.

cheers

  • Yes it does get better. Mine went fairly quickly. Drinking well helps. I got a lot of relief with diet ginger ale which was refreshing as well as broke up the gunk. I managed without a nebuliser and just steamed my towel wrapped head over hot water. A humidifier next to the bed can help too
