Sue should I get 7% sterile hypertonic saline to put in my nebulizer is that the proper medicine. I see that it’s sold at the pharmacy and on Amazon so I don’t need a prescription for it correct correct? Is that the percentage you use?

7% is the "gold standard" if you have mycobacteria in your lungs because it suppresses growth of the germ and makes hiding places in your lungs unattractive. Otherwise whichever strength is enough to trigger your cough reflex. It is available without a prescription, but depending on your insurance, may be less expensive with it.
See if your primary or the ID doc will prescribe it for you.
