How do you manage thick mucus? What else can I try?

I used the spit bags. The hospital gave me some, and you can order from Amazon. I spit it out. I Explained to family and friends, get used to me spitting in these bags. I am over one year past radiation treatments. I still have mucus everyday. I dont need the bags anymore, but I still spit it out.
My doctor suggested mucinex. But I never tried it. I didn't want to thin it. I wanted to expel it.

@kmlnj I use mucus relief (Mucinex ) every 12 hrs. Helps a lot. 2 years out of radiation. Bring it up and spit it out in Kleenex or bathroom sink. Not as bad as in the beginning but dont think it will go away. Also use sponge swabs and just reach in and get it out.
