WHAT IS MUCUS, PHLEGM, CATARRH:
Well, mucus is a thick substance produced by certain cells in our bodies in places like our mouth, nose, stomach and lungs, to protect us and keep our organ linings from drying out.
You're probably all familiar with the mucus produced by our noses and throats as this is what runs when we have a runny nose, is what we spit out as phlegm when he have a chesty cough, and what can build up as catarrh at the back of your nose and throat when you have allergies or an infection.
As unpleasant as it may be, mucus has some really important functions. So for example the mucus produced in our stomach, acts as a barrier and a lubricant to allow food to pass through. The mucus produced in our nose, mouth and lungs, also acts as a barrier, but also has the super important function of trapping dirt, dust and chemicals so they don’t enter the body in large amounts. Its actually one of the body’s first lines of physical defence against infection.
COVID SYMPTOMS:
The main symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are:
a high temperature - this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
a new, continuous cough - this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste - this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
If you have any of the main symptoms of COVID-19, even if they're mild:
Get a PCR test (test that is sent to a lab) to check if you have COVID-19 as soon as possible.
Stay at home and do not have visitors (self-isolate) until you get your test result - only leave your home to have a test. Check if people you live with need to self-isolate.
Visit the NHS website for more information: www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronav...
SALINE SOLUTION:
You can easily make saline solutions at home using half a teaspoon of salt in a pint of water that you’ve boiled and then left to cool to a safe temperature, and this one mixture can be used to both gargle and clear your throat with and rinse your nasal passages. You can gargle with a saline solution as many times as needed, getting the water at the back of your throat and then swishing it around your mouth before spitting it out. Even though a saline solution is not harmful to swallow in small amounts, it’s best to always spit so you don’t consume all that salt. Gargling or rinsing as may not be suitable for a child or if you suffer with swallowing problems.
WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION:
Now, like I mentioned earlier, mucus and catarrh is not usually harmful, but if it ever becomes a particular problem for you, starts to interfere with your daily life or lasts more than three weeks, you should speak to your doctor. It could be a sign of an underlying condition, such as nasal polyps or a chest infection, which might need further investigating or treatment.
You’ll also want to speak to your doctor if at any time your mucus is brown or bloody, as this can also be a sign of an underlying condition that needs investigating.
And if at any time you experience catarrh or mucus, you have any other symptoms that go with it such as difficulty breathing, tightness in your chest, difficulty swallowing or fever, these are also red flags that you should speak to your doctor about straight away.

I have had excessive mucus and post nasal drip for for 25 years. I would wake up every morning and spend 3 to 4 minutes gargling to clear in out. Since I have eliminated all sugar,including carbs, and wheat from my diet I no longer have have this problem. I also have fresh breath all the time now,even after waking up after a nights sleep.
Moki ... I have wondering if there is a connection with sugar and bread, although I don't eat a lot of bread. I am interested seeing your comment. I think you are definitely onto something. I have been noticing increased mucus and since being sick a month ago I am coughing all the time and trying to bring up mucus. It's driving me nutty. I'm definitely going to try and give up all carbs and reduce the bread even more and see how I go. Thanks for the comment.
What do you eat then? I have to have bread in the morning. I have tonsil stone problem.
@@des895 anything that doesn't contain sugar I suppose - eggs, avocado, tomato, rye bread, sourdough etc I quite like rye bread.
@@des895 can you tell me why you have to have bread daily?
Can you tell me please what you eat instead of carbs and wheat? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the advice. I’ve been sick twice this year now. I’ve never been like this.. I’ll use all these remedies
Glad I could help
Pharmacists are replacing our doctors these days and doing a good job. Thanks for your posting.
I think pharamacist are also doctors
@@ran160 we get that. He means in terms of actually proving health services other than offering big pharma concoctions. In other words, actually caring about their patients.
@@ran160 No they are not, it's an insult to doctors, there is a big difference between a pharmacist and a doctor, I know as I have 2 in my family
Truly said
Wonderful advice. Thanks for the tips. Good health to you 😊
Sending awesome vibes :)
Just chanced on this video which is very helpful. Have been dealing with post nasal drip for almost a year. Thanks a bunch. Looking forward to future videos
Thank you so much, glad I could help

Bravo! So helpful and accurate. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome
When falling asleep, try to sleep with your mouth closed. At first you can't breathe but as you gently encourage yourself to close your mouth, you find that your nose clears more and more. Gradually sleeping with your mouth closed becomes a habit and that helps.
When you cough it bloody hurts so much I think this is what I’ve got and I’ve been coughing for 7 days
@@sun0._.spongeeditz875 Hi Daisy, hope you can go to a doctor and discover what is really going on so you can get well again.
I do mouth taping at night,.......I know,it’s sounds weird,but have done it after having dry eye syndrome,& post nasal drip,change my whole world in sleeeping sooo much better!
@@jackiemcnairn3594 I have taped my mouth and it's recommended by doctors including dentists because sleeping with your mouth open can dry your mouth and increasing the chance of having dental problems. For tape I didn't buy the ones advertised because it can be expensive so I used medical tape which is used to close up wounds and it works very well because it comes on a roll and you can cut it to size but the only problem is removing the tape the next day as it can take a couple of minutes to remove the adhesive from the mouth but otherwise it was well worth it.
I like the way you time-line marked the questions in your video--that's helpful. A specialit also advised raising the head of the bed 4 to 6 " to elevate you and prevent/reduce acid reflux. I don't have heartburn but many people do--I'm still searching for a cause of excess mucus/throat clearing but watching videos and reading about symptoms is helpful to rule out possible causes.
Great tip Bill, sending awesome vibes
Thank you so much for the video is really helping
@@AbrahamThePharmacist Great video and tips. Thank you.
Hot peppers like scotch bonet in soups and food have helped me tremendously
Thank you for the great info. I'm seasick with the zoom out / zoom in effect

Great advice ...thank you.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much! I’m a singer and a lead in a musical I can afford too much drainage because it effects my job!!! I can’t thank you enough
Glad I could help - sending awesome vibes :)
Covid left me with respiratory issues and affected the ability to sing (I am not professional but participate in music retreats). I am so tired of this constant mucus and pleghm 😢
I get the sunlight and coconut water to solve the problem. Those worked very well for me. Doctors say, the infra red from the sun can treat mucus, and magnesium from coconut water and vitamin D from the sun can boost your immune system.
Very interesting. Good to know
Thank you for the information.
Warm must humidifier next to the head by bed @ nights is better than the hot steam & towel, the hot steam can cause sinus headache afterwards
Very helpful, informative video!
Glad it was helpful!
you are just too good!!! i can advice this without being a doctor ... glad you cou;d validate!
I appreciate that! Sending awesome vibes Doreen

Awesome!
A lifelong sufferer of Asthma, I went Vegan and virtually eliminated its symptons including being clogged with mucus with health threatening regularity, Almost daily in fact...My general health and appearance (hair skin eyes) has been fantastic as well.
Its hard for me to go vegan since my parents only eat meat ...beef, pork, etc...but i will have to go vegan for my self to get rid of this cold
@@alinapopet9290 the only difficult part of making the transition is food preparation. It was the most challenging for me due to my wife and children not having the same diet as me (plant based). They wouldn't even consider giving up beef and cheese lol. But, it really is easy. Just need to be prepared.
Hey Moki thanks a lot for the info! Did you also have clicking inside your ears? I’ve had it for two years alongside the phlegm, I think they go hand in hand. The clicking in my ear is very distracting and annoying
One comment says get rid of sugar and carbs and the next says eat tons of carbs and no meat. Really?
@@peggysueway3889I think any diet change that includes healthier foods (less processed foods and more fresh fruit and vegetables) is going to make a difference. If the first person cut out processed carbs and sugars like cakes, cookies, white breads, crackers, etc and instead they’re eating more whole food based meals like a low carb grain with vegetables and protein, and maybe some fruit afterwards, that’s pretty similar to a whole food vegan diet, a vegan diet just uses plant protein instead of animals for protein. You can actually have a low carb diet as a vegan too.
Very useful. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, very informative.
Glad I could help
great video! Thank you. Is drinking cold water or warm water better?
Thanks for this. Very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
@@AbrahamThePharmacist current isolating with Covid 😪😮💨🤧😷 and really congested with it
I have perennial allergic rhinitis and a very dry atmosphere really helps: high humidity in winter is the very worst.
Sounds similar to what I get. Usually when the seasons change like right now in the fall and spring. I usually get awful flu symptoms and it turns into total lung and chest congestion which takes weeks to cough up and drain out. I'm so sick of it every 6 months. What helps you the best? Prevention would be the ticket.
THANKS FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO
Glad I could help
Thank you so much 💓 for the helpful information. Am so grateful 🙏 🤲
You are so welcome
I get histamine reactions to many foods, the biggest culprit being citrus fruits, avocado, strawberries, tomatoes, dairy, chocolate, wine and many more!
Such an excellent informative video - thanks for sharing your experience ❤
You are so welcome!
I feel like my nose is less runny and more dry, often. Like there is mucus but it's thick and sometimes painfully dry. Sometimes it's a little bloody. And it is often annoying my throat, and I constantly feel like I have to cough to clear it. I also can't sing the way I used to because the mucus will make me cough. I do sometimes get minor sinus pains.
Could this be the same thing you're describing even though it's not usually runny?
Really helpful thanks
Glad it helped
This is what I have post nasil drip..headaches facial pain..dizziness..warm water works better with me.
My guy!!! Thank you for this the nose saline thing does bitsss
Glad I could help
4:00 You said cold water... doesn't it make cold worse. Atleast that's what I've been told. Thank you for your help 😀
What kept me watching till the end is the accent, just keep talking.... I’m here for it
Sending awesome vibes!
Thank you so much for a accurate information.
You are so welcome
I get all those symptoms and signs, including the headaches.
Thank you very much
You are welcome
A salty beach ⛱ definitely does wonders, clean my whole head out! Folly Beach ⛱ salty water. Excellent
Thank for the information. I have suffered of this mucus since a week now. I'm tired about the whole suff. Let me try your remedies.
Best of luck!
Thanks for the advice 😊 great information
You are so welcome!
it's wonderful
Spicy foods always make my lungs feel clearer.
I was suffering from allergies, including mucus and post nasal drip. Doctors prescribed heavier and heavier meds, which messed my stomach up ( story for another day). I stopped eaying dairy products and my lifelong troubles were over.
Eggs too give a lots mucus.
So what do you drink in the morning instead of milk and coffee? This is hard. 😫
How about eating properly made sea moss and or sea kelp? Appreciate a prompt response, thanks doc.
Sea moss has helped me. I don't know about sea kelp.
Phlegm can be really discomfortable in these days this was the video I was waiting ,thank you ...
Glad I could help Aditya, this ones for you 🏅forth comments :)
Thank you, I have COPD and learnt a lot from this video
There is an underlying cause responsible for the COPD and excessive mucus that you have not been properly tested for yet. I have over 35 years of experience. Please read the About section of my profile and contact me via email if you would like accurate answers and proper guidance.
Thank u so much bless you for sharing
You are so welcome
thanks for this info....i have also...does this mean there's no permanent solution on this?
Thanks 😊
You're welcome!
Hi, please make a video about pharmacy major.
Warm water, apple cider vinegar, honey and lemon, just sip little bits over time, clears everything up pretty quick, stops the constant clearing of the throat
U drink it or do you gargle it??
Amen!!!
very bad for those with acid reflux and LPR
@@ruzannabarczynski3194 apple cider vinegar actually helps with acid reflux
I happen to be drinking some right now. I find it soothing.
I didn't even think about clearing my throat until I started watching this. :-D
So glad this wasn’t another video about cutting everything out of your diet that tastes good. I think I’d rather live with mucus than live without wheat and sugar
Glad it was helpful!
Great video as always I have Bronchiectasis and take Carbocisteine to help with the thick phlegm
Thanks for sharing and tuning in :)
Does the medication help you with the Bronchiectasis and is it accompanied by a prolong coughing
Can I ask what other symptoms do you have?
Great Video thank you❤
Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I'm going to give these a try. For steam, I did purchase an inexpensive nebulizer. But I'm definitely going to try the homemade saline solution as well.
Glad I could help
That's actually the video I always wanted I have been suffering from phlegm for three years and actually it's impossible To get rid of Bec this is genetic and my whole family is suffering from the same problem But I use a nasal spray to make it Less Thick and handle it more easier
+ I don't have to gargle with salt water Since I have the nasal spray Bec it is made of salty sea water.
depending on your tolerance for medications, there are some that literally takes the mucus out of your nasal passages.
Thank you very much! :)
You're welcome!
Love your explanation I got really bad at the moment and salt water is. It helping I look into your other advice thanks 🙏
Happy to help! Get well soon
Salt room work the best for clearing mucus. Dry salt inhalation.
I've been having a mucus issue for over a year now but its like stuck in my head. Tried mucinex, nasal sprays, hot showers to no avail. Its really annoying.
1 year? Dude I am suffering from it for three years it all depends of regularity make sure to use the nasal spray more than 4 times a day
Try salt rooms🤗
Try Buteyko Breathing practise, clears it for a few hrs. Patrick Mkeowan on RUclips or I did online course with Learn Buteyko, it clears it all out
There is an Indian herb called Ajwain or Carrom seeds...boil them in water and take steam of it standing near the stove as the aroma spreads in the room quick..drink that hot water as tea 3 times a day...thank me later!
Diet!!!
Thank u for info
Glad I could help and sending awesome vibes
Oil of oregano really helps to rid the throat of phlegm . Use as the bottle says. Also, I've used it in my nostrils but put only one drop in each nostril WITH one drop of olive oil to dilute the oil of oregano is it tends to be "hot"...it does hurt a bit putting it in the nose but its not harmful...just hot ! It absolutely clears out not only your throat but your ears and nose as well !
Morning, did you use it as a gargle?
Thank you!!!!
@@asiagoins0004 did it work?
I drank it diluted with water and got acid reflux and started coughing and couldnt breath
@@subiyota did you use as the bottle says?
Thankyou for sharing,that’s all I could do now because we can’t go & see our doctor,
Happy to help
I find the netti pot can be helpful sometimes. It would be interesting to know if certain foods could also trigger the production of mucus etc.
I gave up dairy and sugar and it really helped my symptoms. You may also be sensitive to grains and or gluten. There is extensive research supporting this.
Milk and cheese
@@sunnyme2212 Excellent suggestions--they are the same things that I have noticed that cause mucus.
definitely hot spicy food triggers mucus. I love it but sometimes I just avoid spicy food for the sake of not dealing with a lot of phlegm. Sometimes I just deal with it though LOL!
I was also told to give up dairy products but that would be like somebody else giving up cigarettes. It's never going to happen!
Musenex has served me well. Although I am open to other protocols since mine may not work in all cases.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Thank you so much Doctor. Happy new year 🎆
Happy new year!
All great advice. I use all of them but still suffer. Have a cat allergy for one, but am a cat lover with 4 of them. Oh well, suffer i must. Steam and nasal flushes are the absolute winners for me to stop the congestion headaches.
Thanks for sharing
I use a low speed vibrator with my hand as padding and place it over the various sinus areas. It seems to get things moving and my headache goes away.
I’m allergic to cats as well.
I hope you get better.
I get frequent sinus infections. My ENT doctor recommended an endoscopic sinus surgery to reduce my turbinates but I’m afraid that’s not going to get ride of the mucous buildup that has already hardened over the years. Would these tips help get ride of that hardened mucous in my sinuses? (He was able to see the buildup with an X-ray of my sinuses)
Pickling salt works best with Distilled water
How often can I use the nasal rinse in a day? Thanks for all the info.
As many times as you want. No side effects.
Your not supposed to use normal salt as a nasal rinse it can damage the nose. You can buy the salts in the chemist their very cheap.
And then you can have chronic sinuitis...dec 2018 I contracted TWAR (Chlamydia pneumoniae) AND Mycoplasma, two gram negative bacterias that are coated with a protective shell that makes them difficult to penetrate with antibiotics. Long story short..after 3 years with constant coughing and a FESS operation with removal of 1/2 dl of infectious mass I am able to breath through my nose but the lining of my throat and nostrils are forever weakened and secretion of mucus is a 24/7 battle.
I have mucus and so much of it it gags me and I have to throw up
I've had this problem for years, and when I can afford chiropractor treatments, the neck adjustments completely stop the mucus after 2 or 3 treatments. When I run out of money, the mucus comes back after a few weeks off treatment.
Hmm my necks basically a wreck I have 3 collapsed disks and all kinds of arthritis. No Chiropractor will dare touch me because of slight spinal cord impingement. I've already broken my back once a stress fracture. So maybe I will just have to learn to live with it.
That's interesting! I recently read where gently squeezing the back of your neck can alleviate a sore throat. I was so skeptical but it did help although temporarily. I wonder if it's the same things at work.
@@susannay.3437 This techniques surprisingly worked for me. I wonder the logic behind it.
I have had this issue for years also, It is embarrassing and yep sometimes I feel like my head is going to pop!😬
Had it effected your ears or hearing,do u have tinnitus?
Thanks for sharing how mucus is produced 🤧👍very informative
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I made a saline solution, but I can't gargle it because my stomach is upset right now so I'm a bit nauseous 😭
Nothing seems to help me but I think because of listening to you every time I go to use the bathroom I’m just gonna use my Saline spray instead of just doing it once or twice a day..
Thank you
You're welcome
The sinusitis I have this damn mucus won’t leave me alone and I hate it. I have to keep brushing my teeth because I’m scared I’ll have bad breath. I need to know how to stop it and what to eat etc.
Great helpfull video, friendly nice Guy
Glad it helped
im only 15 and have this problem and i keep swallowing aswell. It has been like 3 months already and i still havent seeked any medical attention which i probably should
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Can a NAC supplement help with this problem?
I have learned that by reading out loud early in the day seems to jar loose a clump of mucus from my larnyx, which I spit out. If I don't, it'll get stuck in the larnyx again! Anyways, after this is done, I can speak without constantly clearing my throat, or coughing. The key is to use your voice out loud as soon as possible in the day.
Thanks for sharing Peter
I just got a cold again thank-you for the helpful advice and information also l have sinusitis.
You are so welcome!
I came here because I actually coughed up a ping pong ball sized solid phlegm/mucus and after 3 years i still have phlegm and idk what to do.
My local pharmacy employs a Herbalist. She is a very busy member of staff and her advice is highly regarded. I believe that if western medicine (a modern invention) were more open to incorporating this knowledge in their practice, we would all benefit.
Right on!
Grateful
Glad I could help :)
I am I’ll and disabled for years but never suffered so much before with great throat weakness trying to cough up phlegm and swallowing difficulties. Have tried so many different things but nothing much helps. Even worse at night with raised head. Please can you help?
