There are many reasons for excessive phlegm: First, the body is weak and the middle qi is insufficient. Because of spleen deficiency, water can remain moist and condense into phlegm. Second, the spleen and stomach are weak and stagnant, damaging the spleen and stomach; Or eating raw fruits and vegetables, Zhongyang was injured; Or drink too much water due to fever, poor spleen transport and other reasons. It can keep the water moist and gather into phlegm. There is also eating fat and sweet, the stomach is turbid and steaming, and damp heat can also resolve phlegm. Third, exogenous diseases can't be cured, or the weak and sickly patients suffer from repeated exogenous diseases, and lung qi is injured, so that body fluid can't be transported to the bladder through water channels, which makes the water liquid stay, or phlegm accumulates in the lungs, which is unfavorable to lung qi, and phlegm surges in the airway, which will inevitably lead to cough and excessive phlegm.
Treatment of cough with excessive phlegm
Cough and phlegm are common symptoms of respiratory tract inflammation, especially in the elderly. But coughing is also a defensive reaction of the human body.
Phlegm is mucus secreted by respiratory tract, which can be kept self-cleaning and unobstructed by coughing.

But if you cough for a long time, too much phlegm will become a.
This habitual disease, if not treated early, will also cause asthma and tracheal inflammation. The author also had respiratory inflammation three years ago, with a lot of sputum, which took a lot of effort to spit it out. For this reason, my wife doesn't want to go shopping with me because I throw up too loudly. Then I cured it in three ways.
1. Use anti-inflammatory drugs and expectorants to treat both the symptoms and root causes. Never abuse cough medicine, only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, otherwise it will aggravate the condition.
2. Self-massage: massage the nose and throat. Nasal massage: Massage along the nasal bone with a bent thumb for 44 times on both sides. Then put your palm on the throat bone and massage your hands up and down 66 times. Once in the morning and once in the evening.
After getting up in the morning, drink a cup of boiled water before massage. The above methods must be adhered to throughout the year to see the effect. I have been running in the above way for more than three years, and now my respiratory tract is unobstructed, I don't cough all year round, and my sputum is much less.
