Increase fluid intake to make the mucous thinner. This makes it easier to cough up. Avoid cough suppressants unless you absolutely have to or have tired the muscles already. You can heat water, put it on a table, put a towel over your head and breathe in the warm moist steam, or use a humidifier in each room. And of course, blowing your nose helps remove mucous. Your doctor may also prescribe certain medications.
