[Robert DeLong]

The difference is you are not dying because you are choking on your phlegm, you are dying because your lungs are no longer capable of drawing in air. That was my distinction, not what the fluid consists of.

You choke out when your airway or esophagus has something blocking it thus prohibiting air to get to your lungs. So stating it as he did was incorrect. Neither phlegm or anything else is creating an obstruction in your air way. The air you are desperately gasping to provide to your lungs, is unable to get to your lungs because fluid already occupies where the air would normally go.

And the common man wants simple to understand treatments to help him get thru the crisis and meds that will help.
