Hi everyone.
I have phlegm stuck in throat added to that a cough which is a very loose cough. I do cough up phlegm every so often. Taking 6 carbestine a day. Not sure they work. But at least loose. Is there any thing else the doctor could prescribe. Otherwise very good health
I have heard people say drinking pineapple juice can help. x
Hi you got any sprays Ventolin ect the pink one helps me more, if not see your Gp or Dr, they help me get shut of it, hope this helps, Stay safe 
Seen 2 doctors who reccomend carbestine as does my consultant.doing the huff exercises etc. Sometimes brings it up. It's more the coughing I'm finding a problem it's so annoying. Not used to coughing
Consultant says been lucky not having phlegm and cough all these years. Not coughed or had phlegm in 10 years. Consultant did ex Ray's which showed nothing .
Suppose have to grin and bear it.
I had dreadful phlegm for a year and then it just went. No rhyme or reason to it. I know what you mean about the phlegm stuck in the throat. It's horrible, makes me feel like I'm choking
The choking feel is like you say is frightening I sleep with extra pillows to try and help.
Try hot green lemon tea SC1, the hot green tea has has a soothing effect and helps break down the phlegm as does the lemon ,hope this helps, sorry but all I know about carbocistine is that its just one of a range of medicines to thin the phlegm down so it can come up easier
Is this an ordinary green lemon tea which you buy from the supermarket or is this a weight loss with probiotic tea which is purchased from the chemist?
Might ser if I can get tea on my next on line shop. Thank you soulboy118.
The carbestine dont seem to be doing much. It's still thick when I get up.
The thick phlegm can be a strain to get up, the hot green lemin tea just seems to loosen it and break it down , I use twinning green tea with lemon and ginger
I do too. just like it, also with Honey. The Carbosytine works well, taken 3 a day for years, have dry Lung, No Air, but no Gunge. Hope your well SB. XXX C.
I'm coming round after several rescue packs I've had to use since winter, phlegm is my nemisis carolina but that's a battle I'll keep fighting ,its what I do .
I hope your ok and feeling better , summer I hope will do the trick , I know hubby looks after you .
Breath easy

Looking up green tea with lemon whay does the SC1 mean. Sorry to be pain
Spacecat1 abbreviation SC1
Is this tea an ordinary green lemon tea that you buy in the supermarket
or is it a weight loss probiotic tea from the chemist?
Hi, I use ventolin first,then saline through my nebaliser then Mr huff and puff as I call it, (arobicker) that the hospital gave me every day, calms the cough and brings up the muck.
If it was me I would drink lots fluids and stay away from dairy products. I'd use the active cycle of breathing too. That's a pain, hope you can get rid.
Have you tried inhaling a salt water as steam from a bowl.
I was prescribed Fostair 100/6 inhaler, I take 2 puffs twice a day, one in the morning and one at night, I was also prescribed carbostiestien, I'm not sure if that works as my muchas isn't that thick, the respitory nurse told me to stop using it but I'm not so sure, I will see how it goes, it certainly seems a bit better with it, the inhaler is definitely working though, and I have the blue inhaler for any emergency, however a nurse from the lung foundation told me I can use the Fostair as an emergency, as long as it's the 100/6 and NOT the 200/6 so I will monitor it, at the moment good days and bad days, like everyone I expect. Because I'm all quite new to it that's a pain, because when I get a really good couple of days I think to myself "great things are looking up" then I'm bought back down to earth, so just learning to live with it I guess 😒
That's difficult having lots of mucus to get rid of ,6 carbocysteine a day is a lot also loosening any mucus stuck,I initially took 6 a day but now have 3x 1 tablet a day and use a acapella device once a day and 4yrs on ,what a difference it has made.
Hi Spacecat1 . I, too, get lots of mucus and I’m on 6 Carbocisteine a day. I finally found a routine that gives me relief so hopefully sharing it will help you. I take a puff of ventolin inhaler followed by neubilised 7% hypertonic saline, then I do airway clearance (flutter and ACBT). This helps keep on top of things. I was advised to drink lots of water, or other fluids, as it helps thin the mucus too. I have to say I was a bit sceptical but since I’ve been working from home, I am drinking much more and I am more comfortable. Hope this is somewhat helpful. A lot of it is trial and error. Take care.
I find avoiding dairy products helps a lot Spacecat1, worth a try, hope it helps..Take care,stay safe..x
I don't want to get you into bad habits, but professional singers gargle with a small glass of port to clean their vocal cords before a performance, and it works for me. You have to decide whether to swallow or spit out!!!
I know it's a while ago you posted this but only now seeing it. I had problems with phlegm sticking in throat and causing a panic attack. Anyway a couple of weeks ago I posted my daughter had bought me Covonia herbal mucas cough syrup. It is fantastic for loosening the phlegm .it has liquorice in it. Try it as really is fab.works for me. .xxSheila 💕💕👍👍I also take Carbosisteine 3 times a day x
Thank you so much. I have carbestine wonder if you can the two together
Hayley bought it in Boots . Good luck xxSheila 💕
Hi Spacecat ,do you have a nasal drip at back of throat ,I get this a lot specially in winter ,I get continual nasal drip ,I use boots hay fever relief, otherwise I get lots of phlegm stuck in my throat all so gargling with a bit of salt water helps
