Q: what is the best way to treat excessive phlegm due to wild fires?

: Your airways are sensitive to the smoke like the tearing eyes during exposure to fire or tear gas. Avoidance is the number one measure, mask will help and then antihistamine medications such as benadryl, allegra, etc. and steroids (inhaler or pill) may be helpful.
