How can I clean my lungs?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There is no scientific proof to methods available online to detox your lungs. Fortunately, Lungs are good at cleaning and repairing themselves unless there was any chronic damage done. You may follow some steps to keep the lungs healthy such as Quit smoking, avoid second-hand smoke, steer clear of pollution indoors & outside (Wear mask, use air purifiers), prevent lung infections (Hand washing, maintain distance from sick people, get flu/pneumonia vaccines), include anti oxidants in diet and do breathing exercises or any physical activity on regular basis.

View allI've been dealing with this cough for almost two weeks now. Initially, it was dry, but in the last three days, it's turned into a wet cough, and I'm able to spit it out. I'm feeling constantly tired and really don't have the energy to get things done. Mornings are especially tough because I can't seem to get up. On top of that, I've been having severe headaches all day long. I'm kind of worried about what's going on. Could you give me some advice on what's happening and what I should do?
