if it's nasal mucus a saline nasal douche can work for you or you can purchase Sterimar nasal spray made with sterile water & sterile Seasalt.

If it's lung mucus many many members use prescribed Carbocysteine to soften it making it easier to expel. You'd have to check with a doctor or pharmacist whether either could work for a person lacking a gall bladder

Hi

Just a quick message .

I have Asthma and also damaged Bronchial tubes, Bronchiectasis meaning I cant get phlegm up. My Dr put me on Spiriva its a dry powder inhaler that dries up the mucus.

It helped me greatly. Maybe ask your Dr about it hope this helps.
