Ideas to try
Use eucalyptus essential oil in a diffuser or apply a chest balm
Make thyme tea by simmering fresh or dried thyme in water
Use licorice root lozenges to soothe throat irritation
- Use a humidifier
Dry air can make mucus thicker and harder to clear. A cool mist humidifier adds moisture to the air, helping keep nasal passages and the throat from drying out.
