Thank you for your reading my post and your response.
I have to constantly clear my throat of. At this point in time nearly every second of the day.
It goes from the foamy white bubbly to clear bubbly. When it reaches the point of clear bubbly it seems to let up.
Questions:
1. Is what you exeperienced or experience, the need to clear the throat of what gathers in your throat.?
2. Is it/was it the foamy white bubbly sputum when you clear your throat.?
With how I work to clear it out, I don't necessarily consider what I do as a cough, it's more like a pulling out of what is in my throat, what I would call a sucking out.
3. More specifically what do you feel the Biaxin was doing/ is doing/did?
More than anything the needing to clear my thoat of the substance every second, (mostly in the mornings and more so after I eat) is what causes me great disappointment...and especially the apparent confusion of what it is or is not per the doctors. It sure does limit my social life.

Interesting, my viscosity of slime seem to change, very dense and sticky to more slippery. Yes it also has the bubbles in it. Mucus 101! Lol

I always had to clear my throat, but attributed it to being a teacher and talking all the time until, of course, I was diagnosed with MAC in 2015/16. I don’t think I have had the throat experience quite as bad as yours but the Biaxin will most likely clear that up. It always has cleared up exacerbations of bronchiectasis with me. Do you have GERD? I am wondering if that is part of your problem. ?? There have been time I feel like I’m choking on it all so I sleep with a wedge and three pillows. I was never a coughing kind of gal until I got hit with RSV last fall. I am so sorry you have this.
