BY Mamie Doris 2018-07-02Drinking hot water when coughing and phlegm can relieve the disease. Because first of all, 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. In this way, people will feel more comfortable and smooth.5
