Question:

What are some tips on getting sputum out?

I have to donate sputum samples to my nurse, but the problem is that i am having difficulties getting it out. I've looked online for tips, but a lot have not worked. So do you guys have any crazy or unique ideas on how to get it out?


Answers:

plug your nose and take a deep breath as deep as you can and when you can't breathe in anymore blow it all out as fast and long as you can. when you cant blow out anymore (if you haven't already started coughing.) breathe back in as deep as you can. do that a few times and you shouldn't have any prollem coughing crap out :) Those are the instructions for pulmonary function tests. I get one done once a month and can't get through them blow out without coughing up something :)
