Suggest Remedy For Chest Congestion And Significant Phelm

My daughter is taking a anti-coagulant (lovinox) but also has significant phlegm and was prescribed fluticasone propionate to help relieve the congestion. She is not able significantly reduce the mucus and we are wondering what we can give her to help relieve the congestion and get rid of the phlegm.

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

It seems like she is having Lower respiratory tract infection . I don't think Fluticasone will be of any help in relieving congestion . I advise you ask your doctor for a prescription of an Expectorant syrup like Tus Q X and use it for 4-5 days .

Do salt water gargling , drink hot water , Avoid Non veg and oily food . Avoid Citrus Fruits.

If the colour of phlegm is yellow or green she may require an antibiotic also .

Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask.
Happy to help you.
Regards.
