Relief for Pug's mucus

Even though it is common for Pug's to have excessive mucus, is there something over the counter that can cut it down?  My baby is a chug and she is miserable at night.  She licks and licks just air.  It is like she has this stuff on her tongue and she can't get rid of it.  She only weighs 9 pounds so I have to be careful what I give her.  Thanks for any ideas.

Your Vet will have the best choices for congestion relief.....You don't state how old your pug is, but the excess fluids can related to many other diseases/ailments.....For example: If you use an antihistamine thinking it's an allergy when indeed it's really a heart problem, the antihistamine can make the heart worse, so you must get a diagnoses before you treat.....

Licking air is usually Nausea or acid reflux....Post nasal drip normally causes a cough...Good luck & let us know what you find out....Karla

Karla is right, please consult your Vet.  Poor little thing must be miserable.
You might try running a humidifier near where she sleeps.
