Misc Any OTC Medicine to HELP BREAK--UP PHLEGM ???

[proxopata]

Yo guys,

so I've recently recoverred from a throat infection, the pain and all other symptomps are gone (it's been 2 weeks since i started treatment) but I still have the problem with thick phlegm when I wake up in the morning (being a heavy cannabis user doesn't help either) hence my question:

Is there any OTC medicine that would help break up the phglegm, I mean as of now sometimes it's as thick as fucking gummie bear jellies (you know what I mean) which makes it difficult to hawk up and spit (and I dont wanna wake my neighbours up by hawking loud LOL)

maybe some syrup or lozenges huh?

cheers

guaifenesin (Mucinex)

Yeah Mucinex works great. I use it all the time during detox when I get tons of phlegm stuck in the back of my throat that constantly gags me and makes me puke.

Drinking hot tea also helps a lot to break it up. And you want to make sure you stay away from dairy products too because they will just make it worse.

yep Mucinex is perfect just make sure u take that big horse pill with plenty of water and QUICKLY, they taste like a big horse's a******. Or so id imagine...

eta: take the pills, the name brand stuff, don't take guafenesin via cheap cough syrup, that will probably make things worse. Yes, its kinda pricey, but it WILL clear your sinuses up.

acetylcysteine.

Guaifensin encourages your body to produce thinner mucus - hence why it's so popular in cough and cold meds.

Mucinex (Guaifensin) Will make you pretty much vomit phlegm (if you had a cold or where congested recently) there's nothing better OTC for clearing your lungs. Pineapples will help return elasticity to your lungs as well, just don't eat solely pineapples (i believe there's medical risks, besides malnutrition)
