Brief Answer:
Phlegm relief through medication possible depending on cause

Detailed Answer:
Daer patient,

you haven't specified for how long this problem has been going on, only a few days or for a longer period of time. If it is only a few days and you are suffering from an ongiong upper airway infection then i recommend inhaling with hot steam, drinking a lot of non sugary fluid like water and tea and take in phlegm solving medication like acetylcystein or similar.

If this is going on longer time and there is no infection, it can be an allergy. Then i recommend doing allergy skin testing and if diagnose is prooven there is antihistamin medication available.

If you smoke it can also help your symptoms to stop/ reduce cigarette use if possible.

Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
