Hi Don,
Thanks for the tips?
Why is hydration important for Mucous Management?
Why does sucking on a small rock help in dry country?
Any further tips will be appreciated.
Aliza's saliva keeps gushing out and is very thick.
Thanks.
Gil,CG for Aliza

Hydration (taking in enough water, esp, but fluids of all kind) is very
important in Mucus Management. One way to measure this is urinating
intervals, and adequate is urinating at leastt every two hours.
Parkinsonians do not clear saliva gathered in the mouth adequately, and
we drool.Some tricks to use are 1) hard candy t o suck on - somehow theis
reminds us to keep[ swallowing. American Indians used a small river rock for
long rteks through dry countruy.
SORRY THIUS can't be definitive, but you have the most important ideas.
Regards, Don
