Thank you. This is really helpful - especially in the absence of any response from my pulmonologist! As always, thank goodness for the patient community!
I had only to nebulize once a day and then do airway clearance at night but this seems to have changed suddenly and the mucus is definitely thicker suddenly and hard to expel. I have asthma, too, so am taking an inhaler to keep my airways more open, too.
Thank you for your help and be well!

I'd be upping the nebulizing and clearing to twice a day. It's possible you could eradicate it with abx. How are you feeling?

Hi- From my own experience I learned (I was only doing neb once a day) it is important to nebulize at least 2x a day. Mucus is forming all the time. and we want it out after a nights sleep and after a day of more building up. Not fun or easy to do but that is our job with this BE and infections.
Sue our mentor has Asthma also, have you read her suggestions on the site here?
