I have chest congestion. How do I evict the mucus family from my chest?

I am coughing up Flem. *disgusting, I know* How do I get it to go away? I want something that I won't have to go to the doctor for, preferably a herbal remedy or something natural. But I am open to just about anything at this point.

    If you want only herbal remedies than Green tea would help. But if you want something that will actually work then get some Mucinex DM or Robitussin DM. Drink plenty of water, rest and if the phlegm turns yellow, brown, green etc. call your doctor.
