Question

Hello everyone: )

Some one I know has mucus secretion and he make very hard effort to get rid of it through coughing ( he used to smoke but now he quit smoking) He had this situation for long period

I think he can not handle it but he refused to see a doctor when I asked him and said to me it is not that much a big deal,

I care for this person so what should he do or take in order to decrease or stop the large amount of secretion,,

it is better some natural things rather than drugs ( : if it is possible

thanx all inadvance: )

Answer 1

There's a product called Mucenex that works very well, and is available over the counter.

Answer 2

I was smoking for a long time, I smoked for more than 20 years until I decide to quit..
I was like him for a long time and one day after 5 years of not smoking I was coughing and something real ugly came through my nose, the most ugly thing I have ever seen, and this is that while smoking a lot of nicotine secretion make its way to the frontal head bone and fills it . The time comes when this comes down and you finally relieve yourself
Of course I am not a doctor, a serious problem could be avoided if a X Ray exam would be perform by a specialist..Hope your friend gets better...

Answer 3

If this started after he stopped smoking, it is normal to get a prolonged cough. It is the lungs way of clearing out all the tar and additives so that the natural lung cleaners (the cilia) can function normally again.

Answer 4

He really needs to see a doctor. If he wants to get rid of the mucus, it may be helpful to drink hot tea, and loosen up the mucus.

Answer 5

This is the body's way of cleaning house.
Walking will help to expel the mucous more efficiently

Answer 6

Is he eating or drinking dairy products? They are big mucous producers and should be avoided.

Answer 7

It is his body, cleaning up a mess. Let it go, and in time it will slowly get better
