Phlegm is: good!! ENCOURAGE it by using a cold vAPORIZER and drinking lots of fluids! If you develop a fever or shortness of breath seek "hands on" examination! Hope this is helpful Dr Z

Guaifenesin: You can benefit by using an expectorant such as Guaifenesin which you can find in Mucinex over the counter. This drug will increase the amount of liquid in your secretions to help you cough it up. Stay calm and take Mucinex. If you need a cough suppressant for nighttime choose the dextromethorphan option first.
