7% sodium Chloride, is it harsh on your lungs?

@sieglinde I have what my pulmonologist calls stage 4 Emphysema. I was diagnosed at stage 4 . I have no idea what the lesser stages are . I guess you just need different amts if oxygen . I am on 4 ltrs 24/7 — I have never used a nebulizer . You say it isn’t doing much . I hope I can politely ask . What is it supposed to do ? Peace & Love , Crystalena

Good morning
Crystalena.
I was diagnosed with an early stage of Emphysema & copd ca 20 years ago. The saline inhalation is supposed to help you clear your lungs better of sputum .
I was on Spiriva in the beginning, then Encruse, now Trelegy for my Emphysema. It has worked well but I do get flair ups. I have only started with the 3% sodium chloride about 3 months ago , for MAC .
Hope you will find something that will help.
