I had to ask my pulmonary Dr to prescribe the saline to nebulize after reading about it on this forum. He prescribed the .9%, I think it was to just help thin the mucus. I requested he change the prescription to 3%, again after reading about it here. I seem to be doing ok. I just had a CT scan 1 week ago, and he said everything seems to be the same, not better but NOT worse. So as of now I’ll continue with the 3%.

I once was told that a CT scan revealed improvement in my Mac. I was elated though, truth to tell, I didn’t and still don’t know what that means. Similarly, I don’t know what a CT reveals about bronchiectasis. I’m eager to learn what some of the knowledgeable people here have to say about this
