What home remedies can i use to get the phlegm out of my chest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chest phlegm: Warm steamy showers work well. Warm tea is very soothing. Try some vitamin c and take a multivitamin. Drink plenty of fluids and get plenty of sleep. If this does not work. 1600 to 2400 mg of Mucinex (guaifenesin) works well. This is greater than the recommended dose. Feel better.
