Yes it can be a real bummer! Drink lots, Try a diet fizzy drink such as ginger ale to loosen it? Some folk have had great success with a nebuliser but I managed simply by steaming my head over hot water for a week or so. A humidifier by the bedside can be useful too. Failing all that some people got Carbocysteine from their hospital. It's a mucolytic available on prescription.
