@susannesemann I am exactly the same. I cough really bad when nebulizing 7% with erapid but 3% is fine- check. I tried also nebulizing 7% with levalbuterol using erapid and it seems to work better- less cough but since I am supposed to use 7% , erapid although rapid, is not often used-I try from time to time hoping I get used to it,

@lilianna
Have you tried the suggestions from @scoop?
“ Have you tried using an albuterol puffer 10 mins prior to nebbing 7% saline? The idea is that the albuterol opens things up so lungs are not as irritated by the hypertonic saline. Even with a puffer, I stop the eFlow multiple times during nebbing. I use these pauses as an opportunity to huff cough, thus clearing my lungs during the nebbing process and not only afterwards. Overall, these frequent stops punctuated with huffs help to speed up my clearance process.”. I’ve been doing these things as well as really slowing my breath down when I knew. And I’m now able to tolerate altho my throat is still sore and I’ve had a bit of bloody sputum.
