I just went thru this and the only thing that helped me was the antibiotic and prednisone .... I have to do this regiment every time I get the cough with mucus...Nothing else helps I have stayed away from the chocolate the dairy products that are bad for mucus...drank more water then I ever have in my life...nothing helps but the antibiotic and Prednisone

Go on M R Healthy Nation website they have some tips on getting rid of mucus !!! GOOD LUCK

When i get a build up of mucus I take a 12 hour pill of MUCINEX usually helps thin out the mucus so I can cough it up

Feather@ that's the way it goes sometimes we talk about a problem and by doing so sometimes we answer our own question it is the way of life

I agree...ER is both useless and expensive. For me, having the water warm helps a LOT. Helps that I've always been a huge water drinker.
