Phlegm - lemon in water.
humidity should help have you got your breathing machine.
damp flannel over the face.

I believe dairy products can make it worse.

Carbocisteine is a med which thins secretions and makes them less sticky. Available in liquid form to go through the feeding tube.
Chocolate contains some caffeine, but you probably knew that - give it a try anyway. Decaf coffee?? Or not worth the effort...βDiagnosed 03/2007. Sporadic Definite ALS/MND Spinal (hand) Onset.

I get that - some coffee drips out of my nose because my soft palate collapsed, most attractive but it dosen't stop me from having my one cup per day.
