Phlegm problems

[esmaal]

I jhave diagnosed with ALS and apparently symptoms indicate that I've has it for 3 years. I am severely affected by excessive phlegm, which impedes my breathing.

Sometimes spicy tomato juice helps me, sometimes NOT.

Any suggestions ?

Hi esmaal. Welcome to the forum. If you go back one page to ALS/MND Support Group Forums and click on search and type in Saliva and Phlegm there is a bunch of posts about what some people use. It is about the ninth topic down the page. It might give you some ideas to try. Al.
