Phlegm

Hi There Just wondering if you can share your tips on how to clear phlegm? other than drinking warm water with honey lemon cinnamon? Thank you kindly

  1. My doctor prescribed me an over-the-counter medication called Mucinex Maximum Strength 12 hour. I take it twice a day. It eliminates the problem, period. Active ingredient is called Guaifenesin. I get it from Amazon.

    1. Hello! Here is a thread from a few years back that addresses the topic. Hoping you find the help you need 😀 All the best, - John M. (COPD.net Team) https://copd.net/stories/constant-phlegm


      1. Hi EnKay, and thanks for your post. I see my colleague, , and community member , have already responded to your inquiry. You've posed an excellent question which, I have something to contribute to as well.
        For folks with this condition. excess mucus/phlegm can be a characteristic symptom.
        For some, mucus clearance can be a considerable challenge.
        There are ways to cough that can help with the mucus removal as well as some techniques you might want to familiarize yourself with.
        Wishing you well,
