I, too, use NeilMed and it helps. I also use Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray twice per day and find it helps.

But, I still get the semi-hard cough-ups, especially in the mornings.

Try a Vaporizer! It helps!

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

Also Alkolol as recommended by my ENT, a tsp added to a neilmed rinse. Use as a nasal rinse and gargle with the remainder. I actually look forward to it each evening before bed.

I was diagnosed with cancer on one of my vocal folds, everything good now, short surgery got it, no recovery. I had been clearing my throat too much.

Not a cure, but it is an easy solution…..gargle with salt water. For me, it gets rid of the sensation of “my throat is full of phlegm”. The feeling does return but at least you get some momentary relief!
