Ok: it should be fine. will help loosen up the secretions and will help to cough them out. Take your antibiotics regularly and do deep breathing exercises to ventilate your lungs.

It might help: It might help in loosening the secretions that you cough it out and make it easier for you to get rid of it It does not work with every patient though. Hope you get well soon
