@amn17 yes I did early on, but diddnt have a cold, it was the Amikacin and it lasted a few days. Try not to try and talk for a few days and get some Strepfen, which are a throat lozenger with neurofen in them, they are fantastic.Also rince your mouth out after you Inhale. I was also asked not to use Amikacin for 3 days as I could not talk at all. It all worked well and I got most of my voice back after 3 days so started inhaling again. For the next few months I had half a strepfen after I inhaled. It never happened again. All the best. Heather

Hi Heather…this is my second round of Arikayce. We connected 3 years ago when I as on it the first time. The lose he’s you recommended helped then but now I have what feels like a chest cold…raw irritated lungs …this is only my second week of Arikayce and I am hoping it is in reaction to this strong nebulizer. But also worried it could be something worse. I go nowhere….and am boosted etc. I was set for surgery twice but doctor cancelled twice as my 3cm was slightly improved each time…most recently after 4 months IVs. But this is a long haul and I just want to feel well…..hope to hear some encouragement and ideas about why my chest is raw and I get hot flashes and chills occasionally.
