What can I do to calm cough that produces mucous?

I've read through the library and found that it is common for post-ops to develope a nagging cough with mucous. I also read that it goes away in time. However, I didn't see much in ways of easing it until it does go away. I have been drinking plenty of water to try and thin it out, and also applying a chest topical for congestions to no avail. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Kim
