The phlegm for me , is connected to my diet . If I consume oily items, pasta, dairy products. There are more things . I get phlegm in the mornings . Especially. Heavy if I consumed these things late on the day before . I keep a close eye on what I eat . If I am going to have a slice of pizza or some pasta, I make sure I eat it at noon or 1 pm . The body can burn it off unless you sleep all afternoon. I have done that . I keep all my food intake before 5 pm every day . I make sure it is clean. I mean no processed foods . A piece of boneless skinless chicken or salmon . I usually have a cooked or raw green vegetable with it .
I do take Guaifenisin - I use the 1200 time release tablets . I take one every 12 hours . My problems with phlegm are 90% connected to diet . It is something one could consider . Best to all of you . ♥️ Crystalena

@crystalena I can just feel the reaction within 1/2 of consuming almost any (as you call it) "unclean" food, meaning, even simple things, like chili at a restaurant, deli chicken, too much of anything, because then (I think the cause is) my sodium adds up. And you know those flavor enhancers in restaurant food are a killer. It's like I'm allergic to salt. I slip up because maybe I want to go to a wedding, or I want to meet my sisters, or go to my son's house, but the result is a ton of mucus and trying to grab stints of sleep in my recliner while the sputum keeps moving up. I'm allergic to wheat, ice cream, but can tolerate cheese, but it depends on what else I'm having. It's beyond frustrating.

@crystalena Try Mullein leaf; it helps bring up phlegm. I use the liquid and put the drops under my tongue. It comes in capsules, gummies, tea, and liquid. Look on Amazon for the 10 best brands.
