I have this issue and my ENT doctor recommended a procedure called ClariFix Cryotherapy. I'm considering it. I won't go into the details here but you can google it.
Thank you Maryetta. Hugs
Suck.
You may be wheezing because you are short of breath. Sometimes when your meds are wearing off shortness of breath occurs. This can be accompanied by wheezing. Maybe you should take your meds a bit… read more
My husband has a lot of phlegm and seems to be getting worse, I am concerned for choking or pneumonia.
Try otc pramoxine hydrochloride lotion
I get an extremely strong sense of phlegm clogging my breathing in nose and throat area when experiencing off times. It is so bad sometimes I feel like I could die from this experience. How do others deal with this experience. Thx
Thx I will look into it.
Mayo does botox injections into the salivary glands, but if you have dry mouth, worsens that... concious Swallowing ....
My husband with Parkinson’s constantly complains that he feels like something is stuck in his throat and won’t go down. Prior to his PD diagnosis this year we had been to gastroenterologist for endoscopy, two different swallow tests. They could find no reason for this. I feel pretty sure this is due to PD. He also complains of mucus or phlegm in his throat and is always trying to cough it up. His neurologist suggested at last visit that he try Omeprazole for a month and see if that helps… read more
I always have too much phlegm. I’m taking a spoon of Robitussin before bed. It helps a bit but it takes me about an hour after I wake up to feel decent. It’s awful.
Thanks for the advice and information. Brent.
Look into Botox shots for the drooling. It has been a godsend for my husband. Few neurologists give it but he has had it twice and the drool dries up. No more drool hanging from his mouth or spots on… read more
My husband gets bouts of very thick phlegm - usually after drinking water/juice and swallowing too much. It might just be building up and the liquid brings it to the surface. It's not drooling but thick, globby gunk that comes out. It was suggested he try using the scopolamine patch (used for seasickness/motion sickness). Just curious if anyone has tried this and if it helps. Thanks
I take guaifenesin or musinex to thin my mucus. You can get a generic labeled chest congestion relief which is the same thing but much cheaper. I take two 400mg tablets when I need it.
