Phlegm happens. That sticky, goopy, icky stuff that makes you feel like you can’t clear your throat. Here’s what helps me (spoiler alert: it’s about daily maintenance).
In late February and early March 2020, I had a horrible cough, fever, sore throat, the works. I was just starting to feel like a person again when the shelter-in-place started. With everybody home all the time, in various stages of whatever, and the world upended, I fell into a vocal Funk like none I’ve ever known.
