Four Effective Ways To Reduce Phlegm

  1. Using mucolytic medication such as Acetylcysteine, Bromhexine, or ambroxol to help thin and loosen mucus in the airways.
  2. Chest ( Respiratory ) physiotherapy by home visit physiotherapist for removal of secretion and improves airway clearance thereby helping to improve respiratory efficiency.
  3. Nebulizing with normal saline solution – Why use normal saline? Normal saline 0.9 % is a hypertonic solution that can dilute the patient’s phlegm and easy for the patient to cough out phlegm.
  4. Inhalation of N-acetylcysteine solution via nebulizer with the guidance of home visit doctor – Acetylcysteine is an N-acetyl derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine. It exhibits its mucolytic action through its free sulfhydryl group which breaks up the disulfide linkages of mucoproteins, thus reducing mucus viscosity.
  5. Using a suction machine to manually remove phlegm.
