You may want to consider homeopathy! Try the allergy one first and drink an herbal tea with Thyme and nettle tea with mint and parsley! It work very good for me when I have a lot of mucus. Another thing that work well when I have an infection is a bronchoscopy. It is worth a try

Hi Nick - It is great to see your suggestions, and herbal teas can be very helpful in thinning mucus.
However, a bronchoscopy is a potentially risky procedure that is normally used as a diagnostic tool, not an infection treatment. Are you possibly talking about bronchial lavage, which is sometimes used to try to wash out infected sputum?
Daily airway clearance, with or without saline nebs, is a much less invasive way of keeping infection away.
