I don?t know what flam is but to get rid of phlegm, try taking a cough medicine with an expectorant. ;)

Boil a couple of pieces of ginger for a couple of minutes then squeeze in half a lemon and put 1/2 T of honey in sip that slowly savor the burning.

You said fap, haha. :D

Try gargling some water with a teaspoon of salt added after coughing it all up. Seriously.

Believe it or not:

Vinegar is mucolytic. ("Mucolytic" = breaks up mucous.)

I know singers who gargle vinegar on stage between songs, and I know that hospitals use vinegar (well, the lab equivalent) to break up sputum samples for microbiology culturing.

And yes, I know that's way more info than you wanted, but my suggestion is to try gargling vinegar to loosen that stuff up.

actually just gargle on hydrogen proxide (h2o2) for as long as you can take it :) then let it sit for 5-10 min then rinse.. should help you a bit.
