The day time is OK....night time is BAD! Waking every 2 hours wanting more medicine which he can't have. He wakes up and just holds all his saliva in his mouth then gets upset and whiney that it's all dribbling out. It's hard at night to be patient with him as he wakes up everyone and doesn't help himself by spitting out his dribble.

He says it feels like he's got pips in the back of his throat.

Poor little guy, I feel so bad. I'm conscientiously trying to be patient, but DH doesn't cope as well, especially at night, and mum is an all round grump when she's tired and doesn't care who she shows it too.... That is what is actually making things worse ATM.
