Treatment of Cough with Phlegm (Productive Cough)
1. Stay hydrated: Like with dry cough, drinking plenty of fluids helps to thin and loosen the mucus, making it easier to expel.
2. Expectorants: Over-the-counter expectorants can help thin the mucus and facilitate its removal.
3. Steam inhalation: Inhaling steam from a bowl of hot water can help soothe the airways and loosen the phlegm.
4. Gargling with saltwater: This can alleviate throat irritation and reduce the urge to cough.
5. Rest: Get sufficient rest to allow your body to recover and fight off the infection.
It's important to understand the type of cough you have as the treatment for a cough with phlegm and a dry cough are different. If the cough is prolonged or accompanied by other concerning symptoms, you should visit a doctor or healthcare professional for proper treatment.Â
