I can understand your concern. You are having thick mucus expectoration which is difficult to cough out. N acetyl cystine (NAC) is the drug of choice for this. NAC is mucolytic, expectorant, antioxidant and anti inflammatory.All these actions are helpful in your case.. So you should start NAC. Dose is 600mg twice daily. You will mostly improve with NAC in 10 days. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
