Hello @ckscoville. I had that cough that comes with infections for many, many years. Nebulizing 7% saline, sipping 'Breathe Easy' tea, and finally getting the right antibiotics that killed the infection is what got me through it. After coughing constantly for 8 yrs, I finally got it gone in 2016. I didn't think it was possible to ever get rid of it, but it is now gone. You must be diligent with your health routine and learn all that you can. Knowledge is power! If you want to get started on the nebulized saline, is it possible for you to call your dr's office and request a prescription for it?

Thanks very much for the recommendations. Actually my Infectious Disease doctor had suggested a change to 7% saline in my nebulizer (from 3%), but my Pulmonary doctor at Mayo wanted to keep it at 3%, saying that he typically only prescribed 7% for Cystic Fibrosis patients.
