Why do I cough up mucus at the end of every meal?

Deb-
When you were on the antibiotics was it for a few months each time or more than a few months. How fortunate, MAC free and for at least two years. That's great.
My gut feeling, of which I keep telling myself, is that if I do go on the antibiotics I would handle them O.K.... However at 82 and 3 months and feeling well...not ready to do so.
Have a great Sunday.

Barbara, I took the antibiotics 3 x per week in 2017 for 18 months, under the guidance of my local pulmonologist. I went to NJH in Oct. 2021 and started again for 18 months however the dosage was higher and it was daily. I had my RML removed with John Mitchell in May, 2022. I do 7% airway clearance and have been free of NTM and other bugs since the surgery. I feel fine except for this strange continuous mucus issue that sounds similar to your issue but not exactly the same. When it is bad it makes me feel sick to my stomach and I feel weak and tired. It never stops except at night when I am not drinking water or eating food. Starts back up as soon as I drink water in the morning.
