@sueinmn I have read about saline nebs on quite a few posts. Do most people with BE use it?

Also, can or should it be used as a preventative option to try to avoid MAC? It does sound like it helps to clear mucus as well. I do a lot of what has been recommended by people on this site, but I wasn’t directed to use it.

If your Pulmonologist is at all familiar with BE, he or she would recommend airway clearance with hypertonic saline usually 7% and usually daily. It is the most important thing you can do according to all the experts of BE or MAC etc.

For those wit Bronchiectasis, one of the pillars of disease management is daily airway clearance, which can be done many different ways. This is to keep the lungs clear of mucus, where germs hide. Would you please describe your self-care routine? Do you do daily airway clearance? Are you seeing a pulmonologist?
