No firm diagnosis, but CT's suggest MAC Questions

I had a bad case of post nasal drip that irritated by throat and caused lots of dry coughing especially in the middle of the night. During the last month I have used 3% saline inhalation via nebulizer and that has really helped the post nasal drip and done away with the middle of the night coughing. Interestingly, the 3% nebulized saline causes massive nose blowing which I believe is sinus clearing as a side effect of the saline! I don't use antihistamines because I fear thickened mucus but I do get allergy shots after skin testing but the shots have not helped the PND but have helped most other allergy symptoms. Just some data that may or may not help your situation.

Thank you for the response. I think my sinuses got out of control because I relocated before Covid and accessing good care has been challenging. I got used to a lot of drainage and feeling crappy. With the steroids and antibiotics this week, I've been amazed at the amount of air flowing thru there. 🙂
It's too bad the shots aren't helping with your PND, but good they're helping other symptoms. I have a friend whose shots have made a remarkable difference. It'll be interesting to find out my results.
