Best Answer

Guaifenesin is probably the best OTC expectorant. However, there are other options. Increasing water intake will thin secretions, as long as there are no medical conditions that require limiting fluid intake. An increase in humidity can also help. Using, specifically, an ultrasonic nebulizer adds water to the respiratory system in a very gentle and effective way.

Does cold air cause bronchoconstriction?

People with asthma have very sensitive airways that are constantly on the verge of over-reacting to asthma triggers. It doesn't take much for the airways to become inflamed, constricted, and filled with fluid. The constriction (think of wring a rag dry) is the narrowing of the bronchial tubes that leads to the bronchial tree. Making breathing very difficult.
