What Causes Coughing Up Of Excessive Mucus?

My daughter (6) has been throwing up mucus for the last five to six hours. Every 30-45 minutes she wakes up. She has a cough that sounds very loose and gurgley. I would imagine she is throwing up what is draining down her throat. She isn t running a fever now.
