We use Guafenasin (robitussin) 25-30 mg every 4-6 hours. My mother's pulmonologist works with the world's leader doctor for ALS and is awesome! Look for cough syrups with only this type of decongestant (only guaifenesin and not dextromethorphan).This will help thin the thick spit that gets stuck in the back. Be sure to give at least 150 cc of water when you give her the meds too. Ask for a portable suction machine. The brand we have is a devibliss(I think that's how you spell it) and the battery lasts pretty long. Also, The thin, drooly spit can be decreased using robinol ( i think the generic is called glycopyrollate). I am sorry if I didn't spell something correctly.
