Which Mayo are you going to? I am at Mayo Jacksonville.

I remember when recovering from bronchial infection I asked for more prednizone but they would not prescribed anymore (was on second round of it).

I went through a lot of inhalers until the Advair did the trick and really helped. I also take Xhance (nasal steriod spray) for nasal polyps.

I first tried Atrovent (made it worse), then Abeterol helped but did not prevent (was told later this is a reactive medication not a preventative one, then Advair (which I was told by several of my specialists is preventative medications) and it worked.

The irritation, wheezing, phelm, mucus all improved. Still have a stranger cough now that sounds hoarse but don't cough up mucus like I was.

As you can see Mayo kept trying until something worked. It was my PCP that went with Advair (generic) which was the least expensive of all. I see pulmonologist next week for follow up. I am also seein a specialist (subsection of pulmonolgy speech) for breathing therapy and improving lung function. All say continue taking Mucinex as helps keep mucus thin and easily expelled.

I think you will find Mayo outstanding but let them know everything don't over look anything with them as it all plays together.

Hi, @lluth412 - wondering if you got to the bottom of whether you have thrush, some residual from your combination of meds or something else?
