I'm gonna look for that Throat Coat….wish I'd known about it before. Have trouble in the winter and spring with phlegm. A friend of mine who also sings told me to use a Netti Pot. She uses hers TWICE a day every day to flush the allergens out of her nasal passages and she swears by it. (I've only used it once but need to do better at working it into my morning routine). I'm SO glad to have finally found some online advice on this subject! Thank you VERY MUCH!

When I've had serious phlegm issues & had to perform, or sing at a very special event at church, I've gargled with diluted brandy or rum (recommended by my old choral arts teacher). It loosens up the phlegm so I can clear it out. It also kills any germs, and cauterizes open sores.

From the previous article, I thought post-nasal drip was going to be addressed, but doesn't seem to have been. This is a big problem for me and one that doesn't seem to be getting any better.

It's true what you said about the honey. It has proven to be effective for me many times when I've had a cold or overdone it somehow. Honey has lots of vitamins in it and is actually considered medicinal for a number of things. Good stuff!
