Hi Y'all!
Been following nebulizer talk. I'm prescribed neb. 3 times a day with two drugs- albuterol and budesonide. I don't get up any phelm after but do get some about 4 times a day. I don't think I have dry bronchiectasis as I'm coughing up phelm at times. But I'm also not getting any phelm after using my aerobika device. Is there a connnection between how much sputum and how clear your lungs are?
Hugs from David

@david1952, Hi David, I think this is a question for your doctor .. AND when you have an answer PLEASE share it with us because I think it would be a really good thing to know. I have wondered the same thing. I cough up a LOT of sputum but have really only judged it by how much "yellow" which I have figured meant some type of infection. I think for me I have been so focused on my MAC that I have not spent enough or ANY time talking to my Dr. Aksamit about the Bronchiectasis Only recently when someone mentioned "dry Bronchiectasis" did. I become aware of it .. googled it and learned more about it. Much better I think because "dry" does not become a new breeding ground for mycobacterium to grow.
We can all share information we learn about Bronchiectasis!. Remember Paula shared:
