Hi Dr. I m Andrew from Malaysia. My dad was attacked by stroke caused by swelling brain 2 years ago. Recently he use to have a lot phlegm and causes him to cough frequently. We brought him to his Dr and given antibiotics, don t really work. Brought him to clinic, given soluble pills to dissolve the phlegm through bowel...still no result. The problem is when the phlegm comes till his throat, he don t know how to spit it out. Poor guy s sleep always disturbed by this cough...need your advise how to solve the problem. Thanks.

Hello,

The thick cough or phlegm can be loosened by inhaling steam while sleeping and taking mucolytics. Both the above mentioned agents will help to clear the cough from air spaces.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
