If you still feel there is some gunk to shift and you don't have a flutter or acapella, you could try laying over a few pillows on your bed. Place your hips at the top of the pillows and head on the bed - it may help to drain. Maybe try laying on both sides. Worth a try.

I feel so sorry for you! My husband is just the same. Just finished second course of an but little improvement! If you are still no better in two days go back to the doctor again. I am sure you will get better sometimes it takes a long time. Take good care of yourself use all your inhalers and neb if you use one. My husband is very fed up too - try to stay positive ! Easier said than done! Best wishes for speedy recovery. Tad x x x

Getting rid of rubbish on chest! If this is a regular event you may want to suggest 'mucoodyne' to your GP.
