AirSupra? Is it working and can you share how it is different?

Not sure where you live but I live in Florida. The primary tree in Florida is pine trees. My PCP says he believes I am allergic to pine pollen. It covers our mailboxes and cars with green dust.

Now my PCP says Mayo does not test for pine allergies when they do prick test and or blood test.

I have found sleeping with my head up and slightly down so mucus flows out nose and not down back of throat helps as it stops the coughing. I think you are right about Augmentin they were huge and twice a day. I think I was on the Z pac first then the Augmentin.
Hope you feel better. I have never had pneumonia but if anything like bronchial infections it is miserable.

jc76, Presently I am on a Nebulizer using Albuterol primarily. The Airsupra is more of a
maintenance rescue inhaler with albuterol and budesonide, a steroid, and is used for quick
relief. So far so good. It opens up my lungs quickly. Advair gave me bad headaches. Advair has Flovent, a steroid with salmeterol and is used as a maintenance inhaler to control asthma and prevent asthma attacks. The downside of steroid inhalers is it can give you thrush (candida yeast) in your mouth, so you have to watch out for that when you use them. Make
sure you rinse your mouth out very well after each use or you can easily get thrush.

The doctor told me that we would not get relief until May from the pollen. This has been the worst spring for tree pollens. Right now it is the oak pollen that is high.

I sleep on 2 pillows at night as well to keep my head elevated.

Pneumonia made me feel like I was breathing through a straw and I could
not take deep breaths without chest pain. It is so tiring and takes a long time to get over.

Praying for you & yours. Blessings to you & your family.
