@cdward1028 How has today been for you? In my own case I improved slightly again today. SO slightly tho. But I’m not getting as many cough attacks (like when u can’t stop at all. I do think in my case that the dr was right that my lungs had gotten all inflamed and needed to calm down. Has your dr give u anything else to try lately?

Hi, last June I came down with a virus that because of BE became a bad bronchial infection, dr started antibiotics, 14 days, got well for about 5 days, still coughing a lot; went down with the worse mucus ever and non-stop coughing, after 2 wks on AWC and some over the counter to help with congestion, dr ordered a new antibiogram which showed the same bacteria as previously, but this time the antibiotic sensitivity showed to de different, dr consulted with ID and put me on a different antibiotic, again 14 d. Afterwards I was fine but still coughing and feeling extremely tired, for about 2 more months. The only thing that helped me to stop coughing was stop nebulizing saline. Initially I did 5% then 3%, still coughing , decided to stop as suggested. Fortunately, I have been fine doing only respiratory exercises, which I am doing several times a day, no more than 2-3 min each time. Friday dr call me in for a mucus sample, I had no mucus at all. I am not saying that I will stop nebulizing saline for good, just that my system seemed to need a break from it. Please do note that it is summertime here, nice weather here , I will be back to neb before the clean warm air changes bringing more viruses. Hopefully my experience feeds the ever growing aggregates of anecdotes that we all share.
