No but Mucinex, lots of water, and a humidifier works well.

Hot ginger tea helps, sweeten with honey.
Mullein either a tea or smoking. Yes, I've smoked it. When smoking it works mainly like an expectorant. As a tea it works internally but takes longer.
Yea, smoking mullin works, only need a small amount. Usually one little puff will clear it up.
I have mixed mullin with pipe tobacco for a smoke and have had tea with honey both help..

It really depends on what type of congestion your talking about some OTC and home remedies can mask more serious signs such as bronchitis or Pneumonia .
I Wonder Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink what ever comes out?"
i seen Bugs Bunny use a toilet plunger on Elmer Budd face once.sorry couldn't resist.
May I suggest you determine the cause of your congestion before self medicating? I mean, it could be anything from a cold to cancer. You might consider seeing a doctor if it's bad enough to come on a forum and ask for assistance from lay people.

Its suprising because smoke (all smoke) contains carbon monoxide that is deadly if inhaled enough. Plus, smoke is a lung irritant, especially if there is infection present. But then I guess cigarettes can help end the agony sooner for a lung cancer patient huh ?
So how do you deal with campfire smoke?
Gee Lamewolf, why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel?

Good idea........looks like the OP is long gone anyway.
So, you find a forum on the interweb....about Wilderness Survival, go thru the sign up process.... on the first and only post, you ask a question about chest congestion?
Kinda make ya wonder if you Google chest congestion.....it pops up WSF?
That's kinda a "lets have a look" question...isn't it?

Sit upwind ! But I'm just saying, if I got chest congestion, the last thing I want in my lungs is smoke of any kind ! Why irritate them more than they already are ? Yeah, smoke might get rid of some of the congestion through coughing, but thats gonna make you feel worse in the end !
