Thank you for your response. Our ID is Dr. Kenneth Swanson. Hard to know since it was our first meeting. Seemed reasonable to get a current CT scan and culture before he can treat her. She has a difficult time producing sputum for culture. I will definitely ask if he would consider consulting w NJH. Thank you for your advice!

If she has difficulty producing enough sputum, they can have her neb with high-content saline (called hypertonic saline.) My pulmonologist's nurse used 10% - wow the crud that came up!
