Gargle With Warm Salt Water
If mucus and irritation are concentrated around your throat, a salt-water gargle may provide temporary relief.
Mayo Clinic recommends dissolving approximately ¼ to ½ teaspoon of salt in an 8-ounce glass of warm water to soothe
a sore throat.
Gargle the solution and spit it out rather than swallowing it.Find Lung Care
This is more useful for throat discomfort than mucus located deep inside the lungs.
Young children who cannot gargle safely shouldn’t use this method.
