Barbara about a year ago my pulmonologist suggested cromolyn sodium nebulizer- an older kind of med, non steroid, as an anti inflammatory. I asked dr Griffith at NJH about using it and he said it’s rarely prescribed because there are better meds now, mostly with steroids. I have been using it. So may be ask your doctor

I hadn't heard anything about cromolyn in many years (ret. nurse) and this is the second mention this month. It's used occasionally as a mast cell stabilizer in a small subset of patients with chronic urticaria.
No need to reply...just thought it an interesting coincidence/tidbit.

Thanks for reading and responding. "Mostly with steroids"......something to avoid if at all possible.
If you have more time to discuss:
Were you using the hypertonic saline solution to start with and then switched over to the Cromolyn sodium?
What was your journey with either one or the other?
How long on them or the one...... and what do you feel one was not doing vs the other....what has it done for you????? Recognizable change????
