Coughing up excessive amounts of phlegm in the a.m.

Can't go out till after 11ish in the am as I have to have a cup by me to constantly spit up the phlegm and foamy mucous.  Gross, I know.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to something that might help bring up the stuff faster or ease the amount somewhat?  Dr. doesn't seem to think it's a big deal, so no help there!  My chest doesn't hurt and the phlegm and mucous is always white.  I live in Canada in a fairly remote part, saying this so that hopefully someone in Canada might know of something that I can actually purchase here.  In the past I have tried to buy things that were mentioned on this forum but it turns out usually that the item isn't available in Canada.  Thanks for any info/help.

    Hi Terri,

    I have tried a fresh squeezed lemon in hot water for the last few days and found it much more effective than taking MUCADYNE, it really does thin the mucus down and makes it easier to cough up, if you have not tried it already give it a go, Max

      I drank some lemon tea with ginger and it helped a lot.  Thanks for your suggestion.  Take care.
