Hello, I an nebulizing 3% saline 2 times a day, for about for about a year. At times I experience throat pain, swelling, and chest pain. How long should I stop nebulizing to heal, than resume nebulizing? Can anyone share a experience and how it was death with? Thank You

@sky1 Hello. I wish I had an answer for you, but you will have to talk to your Dr about it. I have been nebulizing 7% saline since 2013 without any trouble. You may have lung issues that are making you more sensitive to it. Are you nebulizing religiously as you were prescribed? Is it that you haven't been consistent enough for you to get used to it. I remembered when I first went on it I coughed violently, but after a week of doing it twice a day, it hasn't bothered me since. I know too that sometimes people just cannot tolerate it. Do you have active MAC going on right now?
