@raney Diligent airway clearance will help with the deep mucus removal. It took time to build up and it will take time to get out. Mucinex 1200mg tablet twice day and 7% saline via nebulizer twice day. Albuterol before nebulizer often helps especially in asthmatics.

Allergic to most antibiotics used for treatment and mucinex. Have any of you had any other expectorant prescribed? Thanks

Thank you Scoop. I can't use Albuterol because it make me trimble . Have been using Levalbuterol for a few years but I have to stop every now and then because of thrush. Recently I started using
Ipratropium Bromide 1 X a day. but has to stop that yesterday due to thrush...I have found that Nystatin oral rince works best for me to cure the thrush .
Also recently learned from a CT scan that there is a vertabtas out of alignment and a spur from it is pressing on my esophagus.
I know now that is the reason for the dysphagia but also wondering if that is the reason it takes so long to get the mucus up. I have not found out yet if the esophagus is compressing the trach.
