Hi,
Agree with beesuit, spit it up wasn't ideal with company I know but needs must.
Think I probably endured for two weeks mebbe, had medication for it ,too loosen it up and of course my nebulizer which helped at night ,
Good luck
I know it has to be the worst side effects for me .
Just have to hang in their with the water and wait until they leave.
Thankyou
Hi as beesuit says water water and more water is really a good secret to thinning the secretions. . That plus a copious supply of tissues , I still 15 month on still occasionally have to spit when I’ve eaten someth8ng scratchy mybthroat produces copious amounts of thick gunk to protect it. .
