to reduce mucus,
first: don't smoke,
second: drink a lot of water to keep your lungs and bronchis well hydrated, and easier to thin the mucus,
if the mucus is colorated, go to your doctor;
take care, hugs 😘

First off, drinking lots of water helps to thin it. I use Mucinex DM to help thin and lessen it. Recently I have found Mullein tea to really lesson it a lot.
