Thomas, I'm not sure if you have Bronchiectasis (I do) and I produce super heavy phlegm every day... easily fill up a sputum cup...heavy yellow looking stuff... Turn the sputum cup upside down and it does not move...My original lung doctor of 45 years recently retired and I have a new young pulmonologist.. The FDA recently OK'd Brinsupri for cystic fibrosis.. My new doctor started me on it about 3 months ago.. I've been fighting the heavy phlegm for almost 49 years since the house fire in 10/77.. My coughing has been reduced and the amount of crap I cough up has also been reduced. The phlegm for all of those years was heavy yellow... now it is turning more white which is good... It might be something to talk to your doctor about. Have a great day, Mike

Hello TomasFelone, I'm glad you didn't delete your account and are still coming back.
I get that a lot. I talked with my pulmonologist about it, and he said if it is real thick I am not drinking enough water. But he did also tell me to take Mucinex to help clear it. He also has me do extra nebulizer treatments to help clear it out. When I had troubles with it getting stuck he gave me an AerobikA [a flutter device] to help loosen it and expel it.

From dealing with it for a few years now I have learned that pineapple juice will help loosen and clear it also. I also found that drinking mullein tea helps to lesson the about of phlegm I have like the Mucinex does, it is just a whole lot cheeper.

Thank you
