Saline nebulized inhalation

Actually saline comes at least as high as 10%. My pulmo nurse used it to force me to cough up sputum when I had a dry cough. The downside was I felt "a-salted" for at least a day. We tried 3% but it wasn't enough to make my cough productive. But I do ok with 7% and it brings up lots of gunk some days.

hi Sue, do you think it's okay to nebulize 3 x a day with 7% on occassion if your not feeling well and coughing a little, or is that too much?
