Following tooth extraction

Hi,

I have Bronchiectasis and do only Huff Coughing for airway clearance. I have hardly any mucus. Most of it is bubbly saliva. However, yesterday I had a tooth extracted and my dentist told me not to do Huff Coughing until I see her again in 12 days. I get constipated if I use a nebulizer. I got a bit anxious about airway clearance after she told me not to do it.

Has anyone else experienced something like this, and how did you resolve the dilemma? I think I should be ok, but I'm nervous since it will be almost two weeks without bringing up mucus.

I have a call into my pulmonologist.

Thanks for any thoughts. Roz
