Thanks for your question on HCM.
Mucus production is normal physiological response to any injury to the lung. Injury can be due to any thing like
1. Organism (infection)
2. Inflammation
3. Allergy
4. Foreign body etc.
So we have to identify the cause first.
If allergy is the cause for this than complete avoidance of allergen is needed. Anti allergic drugs are also useful.
So I avice you to first consult pulmonologist and discuss about these.
