What to Avoid When Clearing Mucus
- Smoking or secondhand smoke – Irritates the respiratory tract.
- Dairy products – Can thicken mucus in some people.
- Excess sugar – May weaken immunity and worsen inflammation.
- Overusing decongestant sprays – Can lead to rebound congestion.
- Suppressing coughs completely – Coughing helps clear mucus naturally.
When to See a Doctor
If your symptoms persist for more than 10 days, worsen, or are accompanied by fever, difficulty breathing, or colored mucus (yellow/green), consult a healthcare provider to rule out infections or other conditions.
Final Thoughts
By staying hydrated, using steam and saltwater remedies, and avoiding irritants, you can naturally reduce mucus buildup and improve breathing. These simple, drug-free methods can help you recover faster and feel more comfortable.
