what you should really do is just cough it all up. it may hurt but once you get all that mucus out of your chest it wonthurt anymore. its worthwhile.
People with lupus are more prone to infection and have a harder time getting over infection than the general population. You can get over the counter expectorants at the drug store. Mucinex is an example. These medications help break up the mucous so that you can cough it out. You can also fill a bowl with boiling water and add a little Vicks VapoRub. Put a towel over your head in breath in the steam. This will loosen the mucous even more.
If you are running a fever or if the mucous is green or yellow, you should seek medical attention.
First, make sure you're adequately hydrated and drink at least 6-8 glasses of fluids daily. You could try Robitussin on a temporary basis. Mucus plugs in bronchitis will require additional prescription medications vis nebulizer, as Mucomyst.
