try N.A.C. antioxidant 500 mg read on mayo link that it helped a friend who had phlegm. I tried it and it worked doctors unable to help for years. I do not know why it works for phlegm says it supports glutathione levels, but when i read what it does i gave a bottle to my wife for general health.

I have been nebulizing reduced glutathione with 3% saline twice a day. For me it seems to help.

Hello @bbsickmayo, Welcome to Connect. Thanks for sharing this tip. Here's some information I found on the topic.
"What is NAC 500 mg used for?
As a prescription drug, doctors use NAC to treat acetaminophen overdose. It may also help break up mucus in people with some lung diseases, like chronic bronchitis. As a supplement, some people use NAC to try to protect the liver. There's evidence it can help prevent kidney or neurologic damage caused by some drugs."
