What should I do if the weather is cold and my throat is uncomfortable and I can't cough up phlegm in my throat?

The cold wave struck these two days and the temperature plummeted. Some people have low resistance and are more likely to get sick in this climate. Cough is the most common disease in winter. Several colleagues and friends around me have a bad cough, and some of them have pneumonia and need hospitalization.

A cold attack leads to coughing and sneezing, fever, runny nose, sore throat and feeling that I can't swallow anything. After a few days, my body was full of virtual fire, and my throat was like a leaf, which was particularly uncomfortable.

Cough with phlegm in the throat is a very uncomfortable thing. Is there any way to relieve this symptom?

However, you should also pay attention to safety when choosing the steam method to avoid accidents and never burn yourself. Besides relieving cough and diluting sputum, steam therapy also helps to relieve nasal congestion.
