Answer 2

No1 I would get help to stop smoking if you do, because this may be one of the causes for your ailment. And secondly I would spend every night closing yourself into the bathroom and turning the hot water on to fill your bath, then breath in the steam. And whilst your at it, when the bath cools down you can go in it!! two for the price of one.
Plus Try > Onions and sugar with water, to make a juice (cook this in a pan, my mum used to give me this). And make some hot honey tea and lemon ( I know its for sore throats but this is fab for catarrh)
If this all worsens, Im sorry but you should make a trip to the doctors because it could turn into an infection.
Anyway hope my advice helped! x

Mucinex is great for this. The muces will come up, usually with no coughing, it just comes...and very often, be prepared with a bag to spit in if your on the road.

First of all, you need to start drinking lots of water and juice. Second: are you thoroughly cleaning your cups, utensils ect. properly? If that doesn't work, you need to go see a doctor, because it could be a bacterial infection
