MAC & Bronchiectasis | Last Active: Nov 21 5:21pm | Replies (9354)Comment receiving replies
Thank you. I have excessive post nasal drip and both Mac and bronchiectasis. I have had serious pneumonia in the past for which I was hospitalized for over a week. I constantly cough and choke on mucus but my pulmonary doc has not said anything about pseudomonas infection. I also have sneezing fits. That is why I was wondering about it.

Have you tried a Neil Med sinus rinse bottle with the saline solution (kit comes in a box at any drug store) Natural, Easy, inexpensive and with regular use works better for nasal drip and even sinus infections than ANY drug I’ve ever been on-(had chronic sinusitis ) prescribed to me at National Jewish Health in Denver. Hint - if you warm it just a tad it is not at all uncomfortable. Also ask your Dr about using an Aerobika with your nebulizer - like getting a 2 for one deal. Works wonders for helping to clear lungs when you have bronchiectasis.

Pseudomonas comes with the Bronchectasis territory. It shows up in a sputum usually within three days. Its treated with cipro leviquin or tobramyacin usually. They usually do a susceptibility test to see which antibiotic works best.
