Hi. Thanks! No, the burning only seems to happen with a flare up. It's definitely one of "my signs" for unhappy lungs. I don't get it any other time.
That's good to know you are, even with asthma, able to manage most flare-ups with antibiotics and not the additional prednisone. Our local lab always seems to reject my samples as too much saliva, even when they seem acceptable to me. So far, a broad spectrum antibiotic is managing but it would, of course, be better to be more targeted.

Thanks for your feedback!

I too have flare ups that seem to calm only with antibiotics. Doxycycline seems to be my pulmonologist drug of choice. How safe is it to use this drug on a regular basis?
