A member asked:
Any way to reduce the sputum in our body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't smoke: Breakdown of airways such as is seen with environmental pollution or tobacco smokers increases damage and therefore increased production of sputum. Mostly i recommend airway clearance (sinus rinse) and deep breathing with exercise.
