I have the flu and lot of chest congestion & mucus when i cough. how can i help clear this up?

Steam or vapor inhalation will loosen the phlegm and make it easier to expectorate. You may try over the counter expectorants as well. Keep hydrated by drinking enough water so that your urine is mostly colorless.
