I think what got me through that part was deep breathing before and after the cough. Otherwise one passes out with shallow coughing. Take a really deep breath and hold before giving a forceful cough, which will bring up some phlegm. Also TMI, but a color-analysis of that phlegm is important: Yellow and bloody is bad - get some antibiotics if you are feeling very weak. We didn't get antibiotics, but we did stay in bed when that happened. Rejoice when the phlegm turns white!
And of course, use mouthwash frequently, and take aspirin, iodine and Ivermectin, Vit D, vit C, some Magnesium and make some good 'ole Chicken soup. (Boil a whole chicken into soup with butter, turmeric and garlic - drink the broth, and maybe eat some meat - the broth is where all the goodies are).
