Plenty of clear fluids, NO dairy, and a medication containing giaifenesin such as Robitussin or Mucinex. If this doesn't work ask your Doc. for an albuterol inhaler or nebulizer.

Steam inhalation - get a bowl of boiling water, dissolve some menthol crystals into it (around 90p from the pharmacy) put a towel over your head and breathe. Does the trick for me xxxxx

Stick your head in a bunch of Steam from boiling water. I find that this helps.
Vick's Vapor rub is also good. Just rub a little on your chest before you goto sleep and it will help break up phlem.

the best home remedy is drinking plenty of fluids (water,juices and soups). however, if you really want to get rid of them fast, suctioning is the best option, aside from antibiotics of course.
