Long pepper is an exceptional expectorant. Add it to soups when you have sniffles. In fact, in South India long pepper is used more for folk cures for colds and such than as a culinary ingredient.
Even black pepper is good. Drink tea with black pepper. If you have a lot of cough with phlegm, just chew 10-12 black pepper seeds (peppercorns?) - of course it’s hot but it clears up the phlegm quickly.
