Inhaled Amikacin: What works for me

I am just using the straight medicine no saline. I started to get hoarse and cough yesterday. Today is the 5th day and I am worse and afraid to use it again. I noticed someone mentioned they only use it every other day. Hope every other day could work for me because I don't want to stop altogether.

Please check with your doctor as to your dosage as I am sure there are many variables to consider. I was put on Monday through Friday for the first month and thereafter only Mon, Wed, and Friday. I dilute with a vial of 9% (NOT 7%) sodium chloride. You need to check with your doctor to find out if he or she is in agreement with your diluting with saline. Hope this is helpful. Terry
