Brief Answer:
Take N acetyl cystine.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

You need expectorant drugs.
These drugs dilute your phlegm and make it easy to cough out.
So start N acetyl cystine (NAC) 600mg twice daily.
Also take syrup containing ambroxol, terbutaline and guafenesin.
Also do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
Please let me know if you are a smoker.

I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
