Is it phlegm or more like blisters. Either way if you are seriously concerned seek a doctors advice.
The mucus (bogies and flem) in the bottom of your throat collects all of the dust and bateria to stop it entering your system, the cilia are ting hair which take all the unwanted mucus to your nose and back of throat. So basically to stop bacteria causing disease.
If you've been coughing a lot and there are thin streaks of blood in your phlegm, that probably means you've ruptured capillaries by coughing so much. It's not a big deal. But if you have a lot of blood (as much blood as you have phlegm) you may have pneumonia or tuberculosis, and you need to see a doctor right away. If there's a lot of burning in your chest, if you find it very difficult to breathe, if you have a "wet" cough (sounds like there's fluid in your lungs) go see the doctor.
To cough up phlegm, you could try an over the counter decongestant medicine. You could also try standing in a hot shower for a few minutes because the steam helps to loosen chest mucus.
Antihistamines such as Allergy medications (benadryl, zyrtec, cleratine, allegra, etc) do help temporarily by shutting down the mucus production. I've had post nasal drip for over 5 years now, it makes you cough in the mornings and sometimes gets pretty uncomfortable. I use antihistamines however I pretty much would have to use it all the time lol so I found that sinus flush have been working for me. You go to Amazon, or to local pharmacy (cvs, wallgreens, even walmart) and you buy either nasal irrigator or what I found works better nasal syringe. You fill it with warm water, and slowly squeeze the water in one of your nostrils, (make sure it doesn't leak from the same nostril). Squeeze the water slowly, you will feel as the water fills all your sinus cavities and after a couple seconds as you squeeze starts dripping from the other nostril -that's what you want because it means it reached all the sinuses and now flushes all the bacteria and mucus out. Now there is that moment when the water goes up your nose to the sinuses, that moment sucks cuz always gives me a headache (it's the same feeling if water gets up your nose in the pool or lake), but when you get past that its ok (you can adjust your head tilt, I found that it depends on your head position). Make sure the water comes out thru the other nostril.... As much as the allergy pills help you temporarily, you can use it as a adition to those. I have been using it once a day or once every few days for about 5 minutes from one nostril to another, and so far don't have to take allergy pills at all, my sinus feels very clear and less dripy, no cough in the mornings either. It didn't eliminate completely the nasal drip but reduced it so I don't notice that and no flem or the bacteria in there anymore cuz they all com out with the water.... So far it works well :)
no.
you are sick if you have flem go to the doctor before you pass away and cover yourself
Infected flem , and you need to see a Doctor and get on some antibiotics.
Because something is probably wrong and they should see a doctor.
Dehydration. It could also be because you were breathing hard and dried it up a bit. Or it's just flem.
You don't taste or smell 'blood', your coughing may irritate your lungs and the irritation may have you taste what you think is blood. As for the smell, you could be smelling the flem. The flem gets that kind of smell after being to much of an irritant to your lungs or throat.
Yes if you get this you can get pustule tonsillitis, breath will smell because of the infection , and you will have a sore throat plus a green Flem like substance.
Hot water with a slice of ginger and some honey should work. Or just hot water/honey.
No. Whiskey does not have any medicinal properties. People who claim it helps are probably applying the placebo effect.(Never underestimate the "placebo effect")
