Consider guaifenesin: Which may help to loosen the mucus and the phlegm.

Why do you need it?: First of all you need to ask your doctor why you are having breathing difficulties. Is it related to the septum or another anatomical area. Maybe it is inflammation or infection. More surgery is not necessarily the answer.
