Apple cider vinegar is not known to help clear phlegm or mucus. Staying hydrated in general, by drinking plenty of water, can be helpful to loosen the congestion. A good rule of thumb is to drink water according to the color of your urine, with pale yellow being the goal.

Apple cider vinegar is a good remedy to break up mucus in the body and reduce the chronic sinusitis and allergy symptoms. The best way to do it is to mix 1 teaspoon of vinegar with warm water and gargle 3-4 times daily.
