Loosen/remove phelgm?!
Question: Loosen/remove phelgm!?
I've just caught a cold from some family members in the past two or three days (thanks a lot, Dad), and I can deal with a sore throat, but I feel like I've got a lot of phelgm on my chest, which is causing me to cough hoarsely every 10 or so minutes!.
Whats the best way of loosening it up and removing it very quickly!? I've got a potential girlfriend coming back from holiday on Saturday and I don't want to make her sick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
the best way, tried and tested for generations!. is to boil the kettle and put the boiling water into a bowl!. You may like to add some salt or a small amount of Vic (half a teaspoon is plenty)!. Now sit on a chair put bowl on table in front of you take a large towel bend over the bowl and cover your head and the bowl and inhale deeply breathing out slowly!. Do this for 10 to 15 min at least for times a day!. Also taking an antihistamine may help in addition to above!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
when you cough it loosens so have a tissue handy!. i have phelgm on my chest every morning and i kinda pretend as though i am tryin to make myself sick so i can bring it up, not nice i know but tis the only way!. buy as much cough medicine as you can, ask in the pharmacy about loosening phlegm, the sooner you loosen it the betterWww@Answer-Health@Com
Try breathing in steam! stand near a kettle but not too close bring to the boil and breath in the steam! or put a dollop of vicks in a cup and pour on boiling water and breath in the fumesWww@Answer-Health@Com
