最怕乘坐公共交通工具時身旁的人咳嗽，伴隨痰聲的咳嗽更是恐怖，痰咳的確令人很尷尬，痰應該咳出來？還是吞下去？中醫理論認為痰是體內病理性的液體，當痰刺激到呼吸道，
身體自然反應是把痰咳出，以免阻礙呼吸道，最完美的做法是在不影響別人的情況下吐出來，用紙巾包好再掉入有蓋垃圾桶。如果情況不許可，吞下去亦並無不妥。
如果不懂吐痰，可以按揉化痰穴——豐隆穴，尤其適合痰上頸、身體睏倦時按揉，亦特別適合痰濕、濕熱體質人士。

Expelling phlegm versus swallowing it
One of the most dreaded scenarios when using public transportation is sitting next to someone who is coughing, especially when accompanied by the sound of phlegm. Coughing up phlegm can indeed be embarrassing. So, what should you do? Should you cough it out or swallow it?
According to traditional Chinese medicine, phlegm is regarded as a pathological fluid within the body. When phlegm irritates the respiratory tract, the body’s natural response is to cough it out, preventing any obstruction in the airways. The best approach is to expel the phlegm discreetly, without causing nuisance to others. Wrap it in a tissue and then dispose of it in a covered trash bin. However, if the situation does not allow for such actions, swallowing it is also acceptable.
If you are unsure about how to expel phlegm, you can try massaging the phlegm-resolving acupoint called Fenglung. This acupoint is particularly effective in alleviating phlegm in the neck area and reducing overall fatigue. It is especially beneficial for individuals with phlegm-dampness or damp-heat constitutions.
