Careful with the expectorants, though they can be a great benefit, just don't overdo it. There's tons of over the counter ones. You can also sit in a hot tub, try for the sauna action with all the steam. To make that even better, they have these tablets you put in the bottom of your shower that are full of eucalyptus or mentholatum, and that breaks it up too, just ask at your local pharmacy. Mint teas help soothe and release, and cayenne, horseradish, garlic and ginger all have things that work up into the sinuses to help stop the phlegm from running down the back of your throat, so as much as you can stomache in soup, etc works wonders. Don't smoke while you're phlegmy. And change your sheets! Any germs you have are harbored there more than anywhere! Stay out of the cold damp as much as possible, and good luck! I hope you feel better!
