Hi everyone,
Two weeks out of radiation today. Still feeling the effects but hope that each day I will be able to do a little more.
My mucus is terrible. I've done the water/salt/baking soda thing several times a day. But the most productive way I have found is to actually encourage the stuff to come up by kind of making the sound a dog or cat makes ( a growl) and I can clear it out pretty easy.
The trouble with this is that my throat is still very sore and now my chest bone is starting to hurt from putting so much pressure on that are. I wanted to check with everyone if this may actually be hurting the healing. Has anyone been told by their doctor which is the best method. Should I continue to spit this out, rinse it out, or "growl" it out. I hate the thought or swallowing.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks D.
