Hello all. Re secretions.I am the care giver for my Mom . On arrival she was choking due to secretions and a suction machine was in use.She was being treated for thrush) full blown white tongue and roof of mouth)
A swab was taken.. not thrush.(She had used 3 bottles of nystatin)medication discontinued.
I used toothettes ,( mom able to use)
In the morning, after each liquified meal or whenever) a toothette ( dampened and squeezed of water) was rolled in every corner and roof of her mouth, huge 6 inch ‘strings) of congealed saliva mixed with?) came out.
In 6 weeks suction was not necessary) ( atropine is in use as needed. .
Regards
 
Sorry you had to go through all that. Seems like you solved the issues. Take care.
 
Just sent some to my sister through Amazon. Small amount but asked her to give it a try. Hope it helps her. Thanks for the information.
