Ina, I consider antibiotics “cruel and unusual punishment” to force upon oneself; occasionally justifiable but to be avoided if possible. If nebulizing 7% saline won’t do the trick and one must use the microbe assassins I would take measures to offset damage to ones’ Microbiota. A probiotic pill might help. I rely mainly on fermented foods, chiefly kimchi and sauerkraut, some from the refrigerator case at the grocery, but predominantly my own creation.

I enjoy a quiet satisfaction when I realize I have have a “hands on” role in creating my own health supportive foods. Don
