Im having a hard time getting enough liquid in an I cant stop spitting. Im getting maybe 40 onces of liquid down but as it seem as if Im spitting it all back up, have anyone else had to deal with spitting an if so how long did it last?

Try slowing your drinking down.

Pour four little one ounce medicine cups of water.

Try to drink only one little cup...one ounce...over 15 minutes in 12 teenie tiny sips. Breathe deeply after each sip.

You'll be taking teenie little sips all day...but I'm guessing it will help you....and you can get 64ounces a day in this way.

Make sure the water is room temperature or even a little warm...cold water can cause spasms and restriction at first.

If you're already drinking teeny slow sips like this...and you're still having these issues, call your office.

It'll get better each day. Don't panic. Take a breath and do a million teenie sips. You've got this. Within a few days the inflamation will be down and you'll be able to drink more freely.

The first days will be rough..
What I did was I always had a glass of water with me and a spoon and constantly pouring little drops of water into the small spoon and basically force myself to keep drinking that way (also thats what my doctor recommended)
Also what I found helpful was to make ice cubes and just put them in my mouth and let them melt there

I was told not to suck on ice because I asked

I had the same problem...it was annoying but it went away after a few days. Try eating some crushed ice at least that’s what worked for me!
