Cough Yellow mucous: When your cilia in the nose/sinuses fail to move bactera away, they mutiply and cause infection i.e. yellow mucus When the chest cilia fail, cough takes over. You need to get your cilia moving. Hum Increase fluid intake Drink green tea Drink lemon and lime juice Use pulsating nasal/sinus irrigation designed to restore nasal cilia. see www.grossaninstitute.com
