How To Get Rid Of Mich Phlegm In Chest And Throat?

I recently had a tonsillectomy done (a week & a day ago), I have so Mich phlegm build up in my chest and throat and I was wondering what are a few safe ways to get rid of it. I'm 14, weigh around 150 (but I've definitely lost weight) & I'm otherwise very healthy.

Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of much phlegm in chest and throat which is because of viral infection/ upper respiratory infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles three times daily.You should take hot milk boiled with half a teaspoon of turmeric. Taking decongestant nasal spray can also be relieving. If you feel pain and discomfort in body or throat taking painkillers like Ibuprofen Or Paracetamol can be relieving. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist once and get it examined. Doctor may order blood tests and x-ray chest. Doctor may order pulmonary function tests to detect level of infection. Drink lukewarm water on daily basis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
