A member asked:
Is there any fruit or food that can reduce production of mucus in lungs or any food which helps to remove mucus from lung?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Food not a factor: Foods are not a factor in production of mucus in the lungs nor do foods help in removing it. Steam inhalation may help loosen the mucus and make it easier to come out.
