you need moisture to thin out the secretions.you can use a cool mist humidifer that can be bought for 25 bucks or so .use distilled water in it and use it at night on a bedside table while you sleep.


also an old fashioned remedy is rub down before going to bed with vicks salve on your chest and back and then put an old t shirt on over it and let it work over night.


also drink plenty of fluids to help thin out the gunk.

you dont need a bronchodilator unless you have airway constriction such as in asthma.
