I'm glad to hear you are using saline to help clear your airways, but could you check the label on the box? I don't think there is a 9% saline solution on the market - but rather 0.9%, which is not very strong. If you have MAC and are trying to tamp it down without antibiotics, 7% is the recommended strength, or 3% if you cannot tolerate 7%.
Some people also alternate 3% and 7% or mix the two together, which yields 5% (You can safely keep the open vials to use within 24 hours.)
