If you feel ill, call the pulmonary office and tell them. Ask for a sputum culture order. That's really the only way to figure out if you have an infection. The high neutrophils means inflammation and your immune system is fighting something, which is pretty common in our population. Have you tried increasing your clearance to 3x a day to see if that helps?

Thanks scoop. Yes, I have been doing it 3 times a day for about a couple of weeks now. I hope brensocatib will come to the market as scheduled. I definitely will try it. I think I am going to pay attention and get my sputum checked timely.

Take care!

High neutrophils is also an indication of infection.
