Hi Wendy,
Sorry to hear you have been poorly.
Sometimes if people are very gunky they can use certain physio techniques to try to clear the mucous somewhat. Obviously it's a bit difficult to describe them without demonstrating, and, without knowing more about you, I wouldn't know if it would be sae for you to use them or not. May be worth asking a local friendly health pro? Some people find steam inhalations are helpful to loosen things up a bit, too.
Hope you feel better soon,
