Method 1 Foods That Help Relieve Phlegm. Drink lemon tea with honey. You can either buy lemon tea, or make yourself some warm lemon water by mixing 2 teaspoons of lemon juice with a cup of warm water. The acidity of the lemon juice breaks up the mucus. Adding a tablespoon of honey to the mixture soothes your throat.
Gargle salt water. Add half a teaspoon of salt to 8 ounces of warm water and mix well. Sip and gargle for 10 seconds, then spit--do NOT swallow. 1  The salt helps to cut through excess phlegm (which can cause an itchy, tickling feeling in the throat) and reduce inflammation. 2  Repeat this 2 to 3 times per day, until your throat feels better.
