Many people have a number of tools they use to get rid of mucus. Lots of water and mucinex are staples in the arsenal, then comes things like the huff cough, percussion (hand), percussion (machine) and postural drainage.

Cough it up and out. As far as I know, that's the only way to get rid of it. There are a number of meds that do reduce exacerbations and inflammation, but nothing gets rid of it completely.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member I have just recently learned the huff and cough, if that's what it's called Jean? Done right it brings up a lot without any extra devices and you can do it anywhere, although it sounds so loud you might want to do it where others won't hear you.😃
