SMS please don’t take this personal. I am making a general point and not trying to demonize you, again. In fact you brought up a good point
. May I ask if your body ever produced phlegm? And if so how frequently? My body does not do it 365 days, although I know of people who do. Only when I am sick. And sometimes it would be so bad that I need to go bathroom every 5 minutes, making me very weak, from constant walking trips to the bathroom and loss of fluid. I get sick very frequently in the USA, as compared to my life in SG, usually when the season changes.
And my body would cough (others may hack away or do whatever it takes to get it out of the system
) in order to exportoract the phlegm. And doctors would prescribe cough medication, which only takes care of the problem for 10 minutes. But then I could only take the medication every 4 hours. I find medical science to be limiting. The doctor could not cure my condition nor explain why my body produced the phlegm excessive. All he could do was treat my symptoms and the treatment lasted only 10 minutes.
What am I supposed to do? Stay home all day? Since I don’t want to subject the public to my condition. I am lucky. I have a husband (or shall I say ATM machine
) that allows me to stay home and not work. Since I find excessive hacking and phleminess annoying, I will not subject somebody else to it. And once again in my life, I got lucky. For the last year or so, I have been relatively phlegm free, or shall I say, the quantity has gone down dramatically. And I don't know the reason either. Maybe as my body ages, it becomes less productive of bodily fluid
