@pfists Thank you for the description. Do you use saline, Mucinex or anything else to thin your mucus?

Yes Sue I use 7 % saline when I can but because I have asthma it can cause spasms at times so then I revert back to 3% saline twice a day. I have also used mucomyst in the past but its hard to inhale at times.
My last bronchoscopy showed fungus so I'm waiting to see if my pulmonologist will put me on the antifungal medication voriconazole again. Perhaps there is a fungal component to these plugs. 🤷‍♀️
