Drink lots of room-temperature or warm water. Not cold. Cold water will thicken the phlegm in your chest. Chicken soup or just broth will help. Tea or warm water with lemon and honey are good. When I lived in Hawaii, an old neighbor lady made me a drink of warm water, juice of a lemon, a tablespoon of honey and a couple shakes of ground red pepper. Not the vegetable pepper, but the hot pepper kind. It worked. You have to keep it up until everything loosens and then until you're well on the way to being well. I hope that you feel better soon. Being sick is such a drag.
Lemon juice and luke warm water, drink it! Something in the lemon (acidity?) actually breaks up phlem.
You could drop a few lavender oil drips into a pot of steaming water, then put a blanket over your head and breathe in over the pot.
Yeah. While at home you decide that it is actually worth the trip to the store if you want to start feeling better.
Whiskey and then- boil water in a large pot on the stove and use a towel to hold over your head, encompassing the steam from the pot, breathing deep. It helps for awhile.
put some mentholated chest rub on a pot of boiling water.
put your face over it and a towel over your head to trap the steam
inhale the steam until the water cools
also rub the mentholated rub on your chest and go to bed with a towel on your chest
drink warm juices
Bowl of hot steamy water with a drop of eucalyptus oil and a generous drop of lemon juice. Place ur head over bowl. drape towel over head to trap the steam and breath deep.
The combination of steam, eucalyptus and citris will help loosen the phlem, allowing you to cough it up.
The eucalyptus also helps open the air waves.
hot water, lemon juice and a bit of honey
( if old enough also add a shot glass of whisky= hot tottie) it will break up and get off your chest* feel better
I do not know from where you are. But in India I suggest you to try TULSI leaves extract orally then steam inhalation with Turmeric powder and Eucalyptus oil added to hot water
