3% Saline vs. 7% for Nebulizing

I recently have bloody sputum ( small amount) so my pulmonologist suggested me to change it to 3%. I also noticed 7% saline made me wheeze at the end of nebulizing. I did not know it is causing damage, I thought it is helping clear out sputum!!

I feel so boring doing nebulizing!

The 3% is much gentler. Just read or listen to some music. Take it as a time to relax for a few minutes. I resented it at first, but then ended up enjoying that time to just sit for a few minutes and relax. You can try just 10 min. if you don't want to sit for 20 min. I hope this will end up feeling helpful to you.
