You could try to put them in a small bathroom with the hot shower running. It is best if they will let you hold them since steam rises. The steam will help to break up with mucus. Also, you can try Benadryl in case there is an allergy component. See link below. Finally, if this isn't helping or they aren't eating/drinking, or lethargic, I would have your vet take a look at them as they may need an antibiotic to help clear it up. I hope this helps!
