Managing thick mucus in the throat, especially for someone with Parkinson's disease, can be challenging. Here are some additional suggestions based on my knowledge base:

- Stay Hydrated: Ensure he drinks plenty of water throughout the day to thin the mucus.
- Humidifier: Use a humidifier in the bedroom to keep the air moist.
- Steam Inhalation: Inhaling steam from a bowl of hot water can help loosen mucus.
- Diet Adjustments: Avoid dairy products, which can thicken mucus.
- Swallowing Techniques: Consult a speech and language pathologist for specific swallowing techniques.
