Living with c.o.p.d

I have had c.o.p.d since 2000, mucus is my main problem now , infections, which i take penicillin antibiotics for. Any suggestions for further aids would be very helpful.

Hi Atanner,

I found that chewing liquorice roots helps a lot in getting mucus out of the system. it seems to be a natural aid that helps clearing out the lungs. I'am talking about the actual root, not the sweets or synthetic liquorice. You can probably find them in health shops or some chemists, they look like small tree trunks However if you have a pre-existing heart condition I belive you need to be careful with the amount you ingest. Hope that helps a little.

someone on here said to drink lots of water, thins it down and makes it easier to get rid of and be careful with Liquorice it works as a laxative if you eat too much lol!

I bought an aerosure medic two weeks ago and I'm sure it is already helping me to get up mucus, injustice could not get anything up, I will post again in a few weeks with an update

I take carbosisteine to thin the mucus. Works well for me
