Suggest Remedy For Cough And Thick Phlegm

I have very thick phlegm that I am rarely able to cough up. If I am able to cough anything up, its a very thick rubber clear phlegm. I also feel like I have a ball of goo in my throat which is making me constantly swallow to get it to clear. I can hear a sound come from my lungs when I breath in deep. No fever or wheezing. I don t feel sick.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Having a thick phlegm can be relieved by increasing fluids intake: water, tea, etc.

Gargle with warm water and salt is also advised together with using antiseptic spray.

If it will persist, further consultation with ENT specialist is recommended.

Hope it helped!
Dr.Albana
