• Tobacco Smoke: Active or passive smoking significantly increases mucus production.
• Dairy Products: Some people find that dairy products (milk, cheese) tend to thicken phlegm . Try limiting them temporarily.
• Sugars: Reduce sugary foods, which can stimulate inflammation.
• Irritating Air: Avoid air pollution and irritating chemicals that increase mucus production. Wear a mask if necessary.
• Cough Suppressants: Do not suppress a cough unless absolutely necessary, as it is the body’s natural way of clearing phlegm.
