hi i hope its ok to post wo different questions in two different forums. My dad finished his treatment on 29th Dec 08 (although it has now spread) anyway he still has a really sticky mucus in his mouth which is stopping him eating. He has to feed through a stomach peg although he can drink orally. The dietician and dr etc have gave him this fake salivia stuff and something else to help make salivia but they are not helping as the salivia he produces is really sticky and he has to keep spitting up everytime he even sips water. So basically i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to help as i know he would love to eat anything at this point as he does have an appettite just cant eat. He washes his mouth with bicarbonate of soda and has good oral hygenie. Really any tips to help make him more comfortable in the time he has left would be greatly appreciated.
