After surgery if I cough too hard it could possibly hurt my eye. The only way I cough and gag is if I use my nebulizer. I have a mild case of bronchiectasis.
My pulmonologist told me not to use the nebulizer until the eye is set. Usually this takes 5 days. I tried it this week and I only coughed a little. He also said he could give me something to quell my cough. I am 78 and really need to see better. I’m lucky that I don’t cough much. We shall see. I’m praying for a good outcome!
