Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough Due To Esophageal Cough
My mother has esophageal cancer which has spread to the lung and bones. She is coughing up a large amount of stringy phlegm and is in extreme discomfort. She is currently on a morphine patch and hydrocodone but nothing is helping to manage the phlegm or the nausea she is experiencing. Any ideas on how to help her?
