Developed bronchitis like cough, nasal congestion: can't stabilize

I started Brinsupri 25mg on 10/29/25. I was on it for 20 days and developed streptococcus pneumonia. (probably not related to Brinsupri??) I was off of it for 1 month and started back on December 17. I can't say it is helping as of yet. I am experiencing a prolonged cough after nebulizer/vest protocol. Dr. thinks it may be due to the increase of neutrophils without the Brinsupri (in other words a flare attack) So we shall see. As for my opinion, I am sceptical? But will continue and hope for the best.

@cdward1028 Thanks!
I also have NTM. I’m confused about which one is causing my symptoms…..
@cdward1028
I started Brinsupri January 2,2026. 2 weeks ago I ended up in the hospital with a wbc of 0.8. I had infections in my teeth and gums, pneumonia and brinsupri rash.
My question is since prior to this I have had chronic low wbc could the action of the Brinsupri on neutrophils have caused this dangerous drop not only in my wbc but also in my neutrophil absolute.

@cdward1028 Brinsupri takes 4-6 months to achieve full benefit.
