How do i dislodge phlegm from my throat?? (getting over a bad cold but the phlegm is still in my throat and badly upsets my stomach)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hot shower: Standing in a hot misty shower for several minutes can help to loosen mucous and then you can cough it out. Mucinex (guaifenesin) or Robitussin and also loosen mucous.
