Best way to treat continued thick-stringy phlegm (especially worse in the mornings) from having covid pneumonia 2 years ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try steam/vapor inhalation to clear out the mucus. Consider using a humidifier in your bedroom. Drink enough water so that you urine is mostly colorless to ensure proper hydration. If this does not help, talk to your doctor about a mucolytic.
