@akron3 The drops @marva13 is using are to help with breathing by thinning mucus and/or reducing inflammation. None of these is a substitute for antibiotics if you need them. Sometimes it is possible to reduce or eliminate infection with a combination of airway clearance, thinning mucus, and 7% saline nebs. Your doctors can help you decide whether doing "watch and wait" combined with those strategies is right for you.
