This little device, also known to some people as a "flutter valve", works to loosen secreations in the lungs.  You take a deep breath and blow into this device creating a flutter or vibration.  The flutter/vibration reaches the lungs loosening the secreations.  Often this valve is used in place of CPT (chest physio therapy)...hands clapping on the back and chest, or a vest....a pulsating pressure vest...or a percusser....a machine used to create vibration of the lungs when used on the chest and the back.  The acapella is a simple to use, small hand held device that a person can pick up and use anytime independant of the need for a second person to administer the treatment or an electrical machine such as the vest.

When I stopped smoking, I coughed up awful gunk for about twelve weeks.  It might help for you to take something like Mucinex to clean you out quicker.

Our church doesn't do accapella but i know we limit the kinds of instruments used during sacrament service. Want to keep the quiet stillness/ reverence level that allows a  person to feel the peace offered by Heavenly Father and not be overpowered by the music. I would think those congregations are trying to do the same.\nOur church uses most instruments (if not all) for activities that don't require that quiet spiritualness.

It usually improves the tone of a jazz or rock singer. There's no benefit to a classical / opera singer\n\nbut then it decreases your lung capacity, so isn't so good for sustained phrases for anyone.\n\ndon't start smoking to improve your voice anyway, i've smoked for 10 years and i'm trying to give up now. it's hell!

BreathRight works for me.  I tried paper clips, straws, nothing worked. Then it dawned on me...outside of the nose no inside. \n\nPeople try this and ask me, "Do you realize how well this works?"\n\nI say, "Of course I do, I invented them"

try a karaoke program. i don't actually know of one, but they do exist. this will allow you to take out certain tracks. but you probably won't be able to do it all in FL. try Acid pro as a multitracker.

Tea with honey & lemon (actual honey & lemon, none of that Lipton flavored crap!)\n\nAlso (this one is annoying to do but does well for your throat and sinuses), brew camomille in a pot of really hot water and then cover yourself & the pot with a blanket and breathe in the camomille vapors for a while (don't over do it, if you're uncomfortable, get out from the blanket!!). It usually helps with coughing.

You should avoid dairy products like milk and ice cream because they produce a lot of phlegm (mucus). Also it's best to avoid real hot or cold drinks. Your best bet for a clear throat would entail drinking water or warm tea. Then again, you can try sucking on a cough drop with menthol which  will also open your sinus passages.

do this in this order...run a hot shower for him as hot as he can handle it, keeping the door closed...after about 15 minutes, do what is called percussions, do light karate chops all up and down his back for about 5 minutes...then have him take about 3-4 deep breaths and he should start coughing up all phlegm...also mucinex is a great over the counter mucous release pill

Well, some politicians have chosen to be fitted with a device long used by heavy metal singers, it's a form of air compressor resembling certain parts of the bagpipe.  I believe it's called 'the Jobblower' or somesuch.  It allows for continuous singing or oration but, unlike the bagpipe which also allows for long-term noise making, it has no drones.  It does seem to attract them though.  Glad to help!

Yellow phlegm is normally a sign of an infection, or a case of the common cold. The initial state of the common flu when the phlegm is yet clear, is the most infectious period. When the phlegm turns into yellow, the body is already taking care of the infection\n\nOver-the-counter (OTC) drugs are medicines you can buy without a doctor’s prescription. OTC cough medicines are grouped into two types: antitussives and expectorants.\n\nAntitussives are cough suppressants. They relieve your cough by blocking the cough reflex. Dextromethorphan (some brand names: Triaminic Cold & Cough, Robitussin Maximum Strength, Vicks 44 Cough Relief) is a commonly used antitussive.\n\nExpectorants thin mucus. This may make coughing work better to clear the mucus from the airway. The only expectorant available in OTC products is guaifenesin (two brand names: Mucinex, Robitussin Expectorant).\n\nDextromethorphan and guaifenesin are sometimes combined with each other (one brand name: Robitussin DM). They are also available in combination with other drugs, such as pain relievers, decongestants or antihistamines. These combination products, such as multisymptom cold medicines, are meant to treat many symptoms at once. However, if your main symptom is cough, be careful of the drying effect of antihistamines and decongestants in combination medicines. This effect can make mucus thicker and harder to clear from the airways, which can make a cough worse.

The best thing is the Mucinex.  BUT - there's a catch with Mucinex.  You HAVE to drink a lot of water for it to work.  The water helps it to thin the mucous.  If the cough has been hanging on for that long she might want to go see the doc, though.  If she still has some Mucinex, have her take it - and drink at least 8 8-oz. glasses of water a day while she takes it.  It'll thin the mucous out and make it break up - she might cough still, but she'll be coughing up the congestion and eventually it'll stop.  The purpose of the cough is to get that stuff out of her.  Mucinex helps loosen it up so she can do that.  It just doesn't work if she doesn't drink enough water, that's all.
