How far out from surgery is he? I had PT to teach me to cough all the gunk out of my lungs in one go and then they would suction it all out and clean the tube. For me the issue was the mucous in my lungs from a twelve hour op. If I could have a really good coughing bout I could then be clear for a few hours until it built up again, it all settled down after a few weeks, hope this helps...
