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'm noticing that I've been getting this really sticky, gel-like cough from my mouth lately, and I'm kinda worried about what it could mean. Do you think it might have something to do with my lungs? Also, which type of doctor should I see about this?
This can indicate excessive mucus production in your respiratory tract. This problem may be related to your lungs. You can consult a Pulmonologist for further evaluation and management. I recommend using an expectorant like Mucinex (guaifenesin) to help thin and loosen the mucus. Be sure to drink plenty of water to help with mucus clearance.

I'm struggling with breathing issues for the past three months, like I cant get a good deep breath sometimes, and it's like something is blocking me. Plus, I'm getting this tight feeling in my throat. I had a chest X-ray, but it showed nothing wrong. Could this be due to my gas problem or something else? What should I do?
since chest xray is normal, need not to worry. reduce your stress levels

When I was really young, I had both of my lungs collapse. It's been around 18 years since then, and I'm just wondering if there's anything I should still be worried about or if there's a possibility of any complications popping up this long after. Would appreciate any insights you might have!
if you are not having any symptoms then you need not worry.
