2. Yeah, that is kind of gross
Have a hot drink (not too hot!) and that may loosen you right up.

4. Me too, Your all better but you still have that remaining glob
of gunk thats hanging on for dear life. And I can't physically hack it out, I've never been able to do that.

Here are a few of my tricks:

1. Drink a tall glass of water with about 20 drops of tabasco sauce mixed in. This actually works pretty well. Or eat some hot peppers.

2. Take some primatene mist tablets

3. Suck on some of those cool breezers throat lozenges. Works for a little while.
