Oxygen won't help to thin the mucous. Try mucinex of NAC for that.

Mucinex helps that, but don't think it is helphul to overall health. I think you need to rid of the mucus!

I have severe copd and for years my major problem was chronic bronchitis with heavy mucus that severely restricted my breathing. I,m a 73 yr. old male from Vancouver Island in Canada (retired fisherman) . My niece in Berlin Germany sent me a product called orthomol immun to deal with the immune system. You get 30 little packs that you mix with water and take once a day. It tastes like tang.

After 5 days taking this stuff my chronic bronchitis and phlegm were gone ( still took it for the full 30 days though ) . My lungs are still hooped with around 22% capacity but the breathing is so much better. Without the phlegm it,s been a major improvement and am able to be active again.

It,s not available in Canada but think it,s available in the States. It,s not by any means a scientific study but after years with chronic bronchitis with heavy mucus after 5 days there,s no more phlegm. My guess is our immune systems are so compromised with copd our body,s susceptible to all kids of evil things. Maybe my immune system got a boost from this stuff and my body could deal with the chronic bronchitis.

Anyway, it might be a pipe dream that this stuff really works and i just got lucky, but my mucus and chronic bronchitis for now is gone. My doctor wrote it down and didn,t comment one way or the other, but was very surprised how improved i was.

All the best Weegie and hope you find some relief

Wow thanks!

I have this also.
