I have had a chesty cough for a while now. When I cough the phlegm comes into my throat but I just dont know how to cough it up. I have to swallow it and I think it could be giving me a stomach upset. How do you get rid of it.

If you have trouble coughing it up, you may want to try to gargle with water and spit it out in the bathroom sink. I find I have to do this anyway or it just gets caught at the top of my throat even if I can cough it up. It definitely helps your stomach doing this! I know it does not feel well to eat it.
