A common cold symptom is excessive mucus in the chest and lungs. To remove this mucus effectively, National Jewish Health? recommends a deep coughing technique. Start by taking a deep breath and holding it for two to three seconds. Then use your stomach muscles to breathe out aggressively. Try to avoid short coughs or throat clearing. If done correctly, it's possible to make your coughs more productive.

One night, telephone solicitors kept interrupting our supper. When the phone rang yet again, my father answered it. By his remarks, we assumed it was his friend Ed, a notorious practical joker. Dad kept saying things like, "Cut it out, Ed. This is very funny, but I know it's you. C'mon, stop it or I'll hang up. I'll get you for this." When Dad hung up, my mom asked, "Was that Ed?" "No," my father replied. "It was a salesman, and I don't think he'll call back."
