d/r is quite right that N-acetyl cysteine is used to loosen mucus in pneumonia and other conditions. 250-500 mg per dose, up to three times a day.
I don't mean to sound unkind, but if lying down causes you to have problems breathing comfortably, don't lie down. Sleep with your head elevated. Sleep in a big old armchair.
You should be fine in a couple of days.
