I just started Brinsupri 4 days ago and now I think I have an upper respiratory infection. Running a low grade temp, more productive cough. My question is how should I treat this?

@cdward1028 What is your emergency treatment plan for exacerbations? If you do not have one, I suggest you contact your pulmonologist because we are not doctors here - just fellow patients living with Bronchiectasis.

Also, Covid, RSV, and influenza are "going around" - at least here in Minnesota - if the symptoms persist, maybe you could consider getting tested at your doctor's office or urgent care.

@cdward1028 I posted my experience with Brinsupri I believe somewhere in this thread. I’ll summarize: after about 3 weeks on Brinsupri I developed increased phlegm, increased cough and did not feel well. Dropped off a sputum sample which showed inflammation (polys 4+) but no specific infection. No NTM, no pseudo. Pulmonary decided to treat me with abx and I’m feeling better. From my understanding it takes several months for Brinsupri to stabilize in your system. Does this help?
