The Reality Reports

Understanding Throat Irritation: Throat discomfort is a common problem caused by colds, allergies, dry air, postnasal drip, or overuse of the voice. Symptoms may include soreness, dryness, mucus buildup, or a scratchy feeling when swallowing. While medications can help in some cases, simple home remedies are often effective for mild throat issues. One of the most widely used and trusted remedies is gargling with saltwater.

Understanding A Mucus Cough: A mucus cough happens when thick fluid builds up in the airways of the lungs. This mucus can come from a cold, flu, allergies, sinus drainage, or a chest infection. The body creates mucus to trap germs and irritants, but too much of it can make breathing harder and cause frequent coughing. Clearing the mucus helps the lungs work better and reduces irritation.
