    That's fine Tisha,

    Shut the hot water off under the cabinet, remove the handle and open up the faucet. Check and clean the inlet ports on the cartridge if there is one and the seat if a washer type. Now, with the valve still apart, place a pan over the faucet and turn the hot water on for a minute to flush out the supply. If you have a full stream then reassemble and test. Regards, Tom
