The best way to get rid of phlegm is to cough it out. To do this, simply stand in a hot shower for about 15 minutes. Then, have someone hit your back by cupping their hands and forcefully (but not too hard) hit your back to help you cough it out.
I recommend hot tea and honey. The tea helps loosen the pleghm, and honey is a natural antibiotic. I drink it whenever I have a scratchy throat or nagging cough, and it's very soothing.
I, myself, suffer from allergies from pollen, dust, etc. I deal with this same issue during allergy season. I find that drinking a coca cola from a can (without ice) does the trick for me.It clears the phlem in my throat and helps keep coughing down.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
