Well, I think it's fine to use if a patient can tolerate it - the 7%. It's just that quite a few people, like me, have trouble tolerating it. It makes me cough so much and feels very irritating. It feels as if it's doing more harm than good, so he suggested trying the 3% solution.

Some people find the 7% too irritating and cannot tolerate it. For me 7% is no problem so it just depends on the person. 7% is definitely more effective if you can tolerate it.
