Coughing, sneezing, and mucus buildup can make breathing difficult. Phlegm, a thick secretion from the respiratory system, helps trap dust, allergens, and germs. Excess mucus often results from colds, allergies, or infections.
Natural remedies include staying hydrated, gargling salt water, inhaling steam, or using a warm compress. “Drinking tea with honey and lemon” can also help. A humidifier and nasal irrigation may ease discomfort.
Avoid irritants like smoke and chemicals, and limit dairy and sugar intake to reduce mucus production.
If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional for proper care.
