Hi, New here and writing for advice to help my hubby.
He has a clear thick mucus in his throat that he has to try to cough/spit up all the time. It has affected his eating everything tastes awful, he has lost 2 stone in weight. He had an endoscopy in Sept and it shown nothing sinister, we could see all the thick mucus in the throat and asked what it was... the doc didn't know.
It started when he was admitted to hospital in March with Sepsis/pneumonia was on powerful antibiotics we think this caused his throat problem, his mouth/throat was coated in white fur, so was also treated for 4 months with Nystan for thrush, which it turned out he didn't have, we have been to the GP numerous times since and they don't know either, and don't even give us any meds to help, he is suffering something awful and not eating.
He also has COPD, Emphysema, Fibrosis of the lungs & Rheumatoid Arthritis on oxygen 16 hours a day + ambulatory oxygen.
We are managing (somewhat) but its the clear mucus he is bringing up making the nasty taste in his mouth. Can anyone throw any light on this we are fed up of getting no help from the " experts"...
