Episode Synopsis

What do you know about mucus and phlegm? What differences do we observe clinically between those who can spit out phlegm and those who cannot? COVID-19 infections create phlegm that is "gel-like" in consistency. Mucus and phlegm trapped in the airways lead to higher incidence of wheezing, reactive airways, asthma, or chronic cough.
