@4wdlimo Let me welcome you to Mayo Connect, and try to give you some direction.
We have a support group who have a lung disease called Bronchiectasis, which makes it difficult for our lungs to clear mucus on their own, so we routinely do airway clearance to stay healthy.
Herer is a video about how to do it at home:


If that is not enough, she adds a device called Aerobika, which vibrates the bronchial tubes to help move the mucus. These are available on line.

I have used the aerobika for many years. Some days it really helps and some only a little. But it helps loosen the yuck to spit it out.

I also use the Aerobika and most days I find it helpful. Simple to use. My pulmonologist recommended it. Ordered mine on-line.
