What are four tips for mucus relief?

Remedies to relieve excess mucus are to use a nonmedicated saline nasal spray a few times a day and drink plenty of water and fluids. You can also run a humidifier at home to keep the air moist and take an over-the-counter antihistamine, according to Diana Rodriguez for Everyday Health.

Additional methods to relieve the body of excess nasal mucus are recommended by WebMD. These methods include taking a decongestant and using an expectorant to thin the mucus. A natural method that is less likely to cause unwanted side effects is using nasal irrigation, in which a mild saline solution is pushed through the nose into the sinuses and back out the nose, effectively draining the mucus.
