getting mucus out of multifocal areas

Sometimes when things don't seem to be working, it's useful to go back to basics. Perhaps revisit https://bronchiectasis.com.au/physiotherapy and learn the theory behind airway clearance. Try different things to see what works. It takes lots of time and concentration.

For me learning to relax while exhaling gently was key. I found the stronger or harsher the exhale the worse. I wanted to get through the clearance as quickly as possible and I guess I sped things and there was more force, which was a hindrance. Once I took things down a notch things seem to move more freely. And it goes without saying lots of water and lately I've added brand name mucinex, which is helping to move the gunk. Hope this helpful.

PS - I find autogenic drainage and active cycle of breathing most effective

Thank you so much Scoop for pointing out to revisit https://bronchiectasis.com.au/physiotherapy.
It is always a good idea to reevaluate what we do and to make necessary improvements. Right now it is the time for me just to do that. I also learned that to relax when breathing and huffing helps. By observing what you all do, I just started Mucinex to see if it helps me.
Many thanks again and take care!

Thank you. May I know how much mg of mucinex per day? Some pills are 1200mg and they tend to dry everything out.
