Thanks so much for your reply. I am at my wits end. My husband is the one who is coughing. He is using sodium chloride 7% in the nebulizer. He also had pseudonyms and has CHF. We hope to see the pulmonologist today and can ask her if stopping the nebulizer would help. I kind of remember he was coughing before he started a nebulizing session. Yesterday he did it 2/x w no vest. This morning he is trying it now and then using vest. Any advice is great appreciated. Thanks so much. Miriam

Hi Miriam, unfortunately some coughing seems to be part of the condition to clear the mucus buildup but I was coughing constantly to the point the muscles across my stomach felt bruised! My cough became less frequent once I stopped the nebulizer but I need to go back on it to get the antibiotic into my lungs so will let you know if the cough comes back. Was your husband able to get rid of the pseudomonas?

Hi mirsy. I recently had surgery and coughing would not be a good thing. I nebbed the morning of the surgery and skipped the PM session. I usually do 1/2 vile of 7% sod chlor and 1/2 vile of the 3% and use the most powerful compressor I have. The next morning after the surgery I only used 3% sod chlor and used a "weaker" compressor. This worked great and there was very little coughing. About 2 weeks post op I went back to my old routine and coughing returned--only during the session which was normal. It was obvious I needed to get back on the old routine as the first day I coughed out green and brown stuff. Best to your husband.
