I'm wondering if maybe the Ceftin temporarily "knocked down" the amount of MAC bacteria (note - not "knocked out") in your lungs to the point where you are not producing as much sputum? Between that and the 7% saline and airway clearance, maybe your lungs are pretty clear? The doc should be able to hear how you are doing.

Do you think that the Dr and hear your lungs well enough to know that they are clearing up? I never knew that.

Thanks for your reply. I know I am not clear of MAC; but since I took the Ceftin, my heavy coughing has stopped. I have started "huffing" which brings up at little sputum and continue to nebulize. I saw the doc Nov. 11th and he said not to worry. No doubt the coughing will return. I did start taking NAC; but am trying to find one that contains milk thistle. I think that ingredient reduces the risk to liver.
