When elderly patients have symptoms of phlegm in the throat area, they can be improved faster by taking some drugs that help to dissolve and expel phlegm and facilitate the smooth discharge of phlegm. If elderly patients have obvious purulent phlegm, they need to take some oral antibiotics to fundamentally reduce the production of inflammatory secretions. Elderly patients can take oral amoxicillin capsules, cefprozil tablets, azithromycin dispersible tablets, etc. In addition, elderly patients can also drink more warm water appropriately to help thin and decompose the phlegm, which is also conducive to the smooth discharge of phlegm. For some elderly patients with poor sputum excreting ability or those who are bedridden for a long time and cannot take care of themselves, sputum can also be quickly removed by using an aspirator.
