I have the flu or a bad cold and need to clear mucous?
I need something to help clear out some of this mucous dripping in my throat.. Occasionally after a coughing fit it gets lodged right in the back of my throat. I dry heave and gag on it, loosening the mucous but not enough to come out, which really makes it harder to breath and more irritating (i can taste it every time I swallow). I have Sudafed but am not into taking over the counter drugs unless I am in agonizing pain (which I am not) and besides, that just dries the mucous up in my nose.
Is there something that I can do for myself to help get this stuff out- I know steam helps, um.. anything I can eat or drink? tea, wasabi, etc.
The reason I am posting this in allergies is because you probably deal with a lot of mucous related cases, thanks
