How can I cough up the stuff in my lungs?!

Question: How can I cough up the stuff in my lungs?

I have a dry cough but I also have phlegm and stuff in my throat. Sometimes I'm able to cough some up but not past my throat so I can't spit it out. I am needing to spit it out so that I can check the color. Do I just need to cough harder? It jsut gets stuck in my throat and i have to swallow it back

Answers:

Take a hot, steamy shower (as hot as you can stand it). The steam should help loosen the phlegm

yea couch harder and try to push it up by using your throat muscles
