Cough is back

Terri, I'm so very sorry you are having trouble. I know you will figure it out. I have had a tremendous increase in clear mucus over the last few months. My doctor said she could give me something but because bacteria love mucus, she would rather not dry it up. Today was particularly bad. Every evening, I chat with a friend on the phone before bedtime and I had such a hard time trying to talk tonight that we had to hang up.

Have you had allergies? If so, it sure sounds like
something triggered them. I have been allergy tested and, lucky me, I am ok except for dust mites. I wonder if pseudomonas is triggering my mucus. I know you are quite knowledgeable about that bacteria. Do they cause increased mucus?

I hope you are soon better. Coughing is so bothersome.

Rita

Thanks Rita, I am working on getting rid of this cough. Bacterias can cause an increase in mucous as well as allergens, that is why nebbing w/saline is so important. We have to be diligent about getting that mess up and out of our lungs. Rita, what are you doing these days to keep busy during covid?
