Respiratory therapists at NJH said to do 10-15 minutes per session.
Also, regarding the baby bottle sterilizer - I also use this, but then boil or soak in alcohol once per week for a deeper sanitation.

Glad you mentioned that. I was not told that when there, however, I came to that conclusion a good few months ago.
Overdoing anything isn't good in many things.

Hi
10-15 minutes of aerobika?
I soak in hydrogen peroxide.
I tried alcohol a couple of times. That smell knocks me out. Oofta!
I looked up if was okay to pour alcohol down drain after using it.
Google said nope could start a fire in your pipes!
Switched to peroxide.
What do you think?
Alcohol takes less time.

Surely the NJH therapists were referring only to the huff-cough part of airway clearance when they said 10-15 minutes? It would be impossible to do it all in that amount of time.
