You are doing a lot and that will benefit you. Since my tests were negative and I rarely get anything up, I haven’t discussed this with my Penn doc (who I’d trust for advice).
I tried searching (not extensive) for how long hypertonic saline stays in lungs after doc suggested a few days a week, but it looks like it rapidly decreases over 6 hours. Sue has mention coughing salty sputum 24 hours later.
One thought would be an abbreviated session of saline and Autogenic drainage app/huff cough, but I don’t have evidence for that.
Hoping some with more experience chime in.
