middle lobe postural drainage is done in which position

the best position is "left lateral decubitus " position as it drains the pus or any infected contents which have entered the right side middle lobe.

just deviating from the topic, few commonly asked Q's regarding the lodging of foreign particles in the lungs depending on the position. they r as follows:-

STANDING/SITTING - posterolateral segment of right lower lobe
LYING DOWN - superior segment of the right lower lobe
LYING ON THE RIGHT SIDE - right middle lobe or posterior segment of the right upper lobe(this also provides the answer for the Q)
LYING ON THE LEFT SIDE - lingula of the left lung
