@jago Thank you very much. I will look into Trace Electrolyte pills as Liquid IV has too much sugar. I'm a little but reluctant to start Brinsupri because I have yellow/green mucus everyday and afraid the medication will dry the mucus and give me more infection.

@sweethighland What type of infection do you have...since your mucus is yellow/green.
I have had a low load of MAI since my diagnosis with MAI in OCT. 2023.
When I first started out mine was green and haven't had that for a little over a year.
For me the nebulizing, percussion, postural drainage and getting it up and out with what I hope I do as the huff cough. I also somewhat gargle it up...just hope that won't affect my vocal cords. However I have been doing that for at least three years and so far all is O.K.
I know postural drainage for some is not possible due to acid reflux.
I take it you are doing most of all that.
I also feel, for me, wearing the N 95 mask when I go out in public has helped me to bring up the mucus and mucus plugs. I guess it is the moisture etc. of breathing back in the warm air, don't know for sure why it helps me but it does appear to loosening the mucus.
