How to get rid of mucous immediately?

Question

I am a swimmer and I have trainings 3 times a week. Unfortunately, weather doesn't seem to cooperate with me. I have phlegm in my throat right now so I am having difficulty in breathing. What can I do to loosen up the phlegm so I could remove immediately before the main competition start?

Answer 1

There's a thing called Mucinex. Go to a grocery store, ask a pharmacist about it and read the back of it.

Answer 2

A decongestant like Sudafed taken at least an hour before may help or a natural aid is something called a Netti Pot which looks like a very small tea pot which you use to rinse out your nasal passages. When used consistently many find it very effective at preventing extra mucous from developing. The neti pot is available at the health food store and now even in Wal-Mart!

Answer 3

You maybe asthmatic, you should get checked out by a doctor.

Answer 4

Oh gross, what was that green stuff you just coughed up? That can't be good for you. Technically, it's mucous, but when mucous becomes congealed and visible it is considered phlegm, the product of your mucous membranes attempting to fight an infection of sorts--and it is good for you. Phlegm is differentiated from other mucous in that it comes from the lungs rather than from the nasal passages; though, post nasal drip, a common symptom of colds, flus, sinusitis, and inhaling other irritants is often the cause of a phlegm like build up.
