    Drink plenty of water when you cough. In case of cough and phlegm, drink more hot water. First, hot water can dilute the sputum and make the sputum easier to cough up; secondly, the increase in drinking water increases the amount of urine, which can promote the rapid excretion of harmful substances; in addition, it can also soothe the congestion of the trachea and bronchial mucosa and Edema reduces the frequency of coughing.
