Mucociliary Escalator: What is your airway clearance routine?

Over time my biggest issue with staying healthy has been extremely sticky, thick mucus. Over the past years the combination of Mucinex, NAC & 7% saline nebs has kept me healthier than I have been in at least 10 years. It doesn't cure bronchiectasis, but definitely makes it easier to breathe. We'll see what the pulmonologist says next week.

Thank you for your response. May I know the dose of Mucinex, NAC and your airway clearance routine?

Sue I think it was you who one wrote that you had always had mucus plugs and I know from your posts that you are free of MAC. How did you deal with the mucus plugs? I had them on my Feb CTscan and I still have them on the last one. I am concerned because I do not cough up anything and never had but I still cough- becomes better after the morning routine (symbicort, 3% saline, aerobika, autogenic drainage app) and azythromycin and clofazimine at night. How bad your mucus plugs were and is there even a way to deal with them besides what i do?
