I take Benadryl (OIC). Works in ten minutes for me and doctor says OK. Quick fix -- do you have a facial steamer? Don't know what it's called. You put water in it and whein it steams you put your face in it and take deep breaths. It's for your complexion but will unplug your nasal passages if you are having that problem too. Good luck.

@ Richard Thank you Richard regarding a" thermal mint and drinking lots of water. Great idea ! Found out yesterday I will be getting " swallowing lessons at the University / " Very happy to have this precious gift given to me. Take care. hugs, Pam

Dear Anna, thank you I will try your idea. Good news, Isaw myPD specialist yesterday and in addition I will be put on a med. and I will be able to have swallowing lessons at the University ! These are top notch Doctors at Georgetown University Hospital (neurology Dept. ) in DC.Feeling more relieved today ! Take care, Hugs, Pam

I feel for you! I have it too, especially when I wake up in the morning. Somehow, ice water, instead of hot helps. Also gargling with HOT helps. I think this comes from the sympton "swallowing", which I have.The mucus makes me cough terribly. At night sometimes makes me drool. My doctor says it is from allergy.

Thanks every one . It looks like the neti pot is a good help to all of us. Thanks and hugs, Pam
