@aidab Hello and welcome to our group here on Connect.
Phlegm is the body’s reaction to protect the airway and throat in general. Swallow it down or spit it out are the options. I understand that limiting dairy reduces phlegm. Cool mist vaporizer helps as well which is what I used.
It isn’t forever, usually. Three weeks into treatment seems a bit early for a phlegm phest. This whole battle is difficult. It isn’t impossible, just difficult and likely the hardest illness a person will ever experience. It is truly a battle for life, so there is no quitting allowed. But I know firsthand and with most patients, this journey has a profound impact on one’s view of life for the better.
Go forward day by day with courage. The sun will come out in a couple of months. In the meantime, if there are questions, this is a great place where many eyes see and experience help is available.
