Hey there. After searching for ages and not quite finding any posts that fit this specific situation, i decided to post this bc I'm at an empasse and kinda distressed about it.
So essentially, I tried improvising a smoking device out of a glass part from a dab rig and other items bc I thought I should switch from insufflating. My first hit was perfectly fine. I decided to go again and I'm pretty sure I torched it. Just awful in my throat and esophagus. Instant thick, caustic congestion that is still occurring about 20 hours later. Just a nasty thick coagulation of very bitter phlegm that I've been hawking out almost non stop. It's thick and frothy, like has a lot of bubbles.
I've gargled sea salt, swished w baking soda, brushed my teeth w arm n hammer toothpaste and with a dry mouth enamel restore toothpaste, dry mouth mouthwash, biotene mouth spray. (and yes I've been eating and trying to sleep)
Is a little better now, but that phlegm is still lodged there in my cricoid and I feel like it's making my saliva caustic. I can't seem to get my mouth clean and to a balanced pH. I can feel my teeth getting damaged (really worried about it bc I have some dental issues from my homeless days.)
I'm at a loss what to try to neutralize this shit in my throat that I have to keep spitting out and get this residue off my teeth.
Wondering if anyone else has gone through this nonsense and knows any tricks. I've tried all the things in the usual harm reduction threads, but maybe I'm not executing them correctly? Any useful suggestions would be appreciated.
