How many times a day do you do saline nebulizer?

I nebulize daily. After my Mayo visit, I was still thought to have MAC and they told me 2x daily followed by Aerobika and huff coughing, then postural drainage. The postural drainage gave me reflux. After cultures finally came back negative and I wasn’t producing sputum, the Mayo doc OK’d me doing the routine once daily. At that time, I was using sinus meds in a head hanging position and did postural drainage while head down. Once my frontal sinus cleared, I stopped the postural drainage part and the reflux stopped.

Can I asked which Mayo you go to?

I go to Mayo Jacksonville and have been suffering with sinuistis, nasal drainage, infections, bronchitis for decades.

Recently had the full pulmanary tests to rule out asthma. They could not find a cause or duplicate the symptoms. I am working with my PCP to continue to investigate and find a solution.

Can you advise what you mean by postural drainage? I have been doing a steriod and saline rinse now for about a year. I do it twice a day. It is using the squeeze bottle hang my head over sink and then slowly squeeze bottle in one nostril as it comes out the other and then reverse.

Sound like whatevery you did helped so very interested.
