My husband is having congestion issues at night contributing to his already difficulty in staying asleep. He says that his saliva is thick, and he thinks this condition is causing in throat congestion during the night. He has been increasing his water intake during the day. Any suggestions?

If you go to a pulmonary dr and explain your issues and tell them you feel a suction machine would be a big help to have at home he should order you one and according to what kind of insurance you have they should pay for it

Thank you Richardingle for your response.
Do you contact your Dr. for the suction machine, or how do you go about finding one that insurance will pay the co-pay?
