My spouse is likely going to start Arikayce in the next week or two, after having been on azithromycin and ethambutol for 8 months and with smear-positive MAC on the most recent sputum test. He needs to minimize the side effects - especially the hoarseness and coughing, as he's currently looking for a job so he needs to appear healthy with a strong voice for interviews. We just started looking into what to do to help minimize these side effects but would greatly appreciate any suggestions. We've read about people gargling with warm water - some said they put salt in it and some may put glycerin in it. Some people mentioned using a bronchodilator beforehand - maybe to prevent coughing? We're open to all ideas that can help! Thank you!
