What is a good natural way to rid yourself of flem in your throat?

The doctor gave me tons of meds but I am still hacking like a mad woman! I tried the whole salt water trick. Any other ideas?

Answer #1

hmm, well i would either keep coughing and spit it out until its finally all gone, or go to some kind of a specialist.

Answer #2

Hoch a good ‘ol loogie

Answer #3

there are several ways, I like mixing a little bit of lemon juice with warm water. salt water works well for me too. Is there some underlying problem like a sunus infection (hopefully your doctor is investigating WHY you are getting phlegm as well as trying to help with the symptom)…

Answer #4

see a physio if you can. I am lucky enough to go to a university that is known for health-related courses so I know heaps of trainee physiotherapists who are lining up to practise on you. I discovered that one of the things they learn is how to clear mucas for people with cystic fibrosis, and it works amazingly for when you have a cold, etc. Its quite strange, it involved a lot of tapping and shaking, but its very effective.
