Airway clearance and how I feel throughout the day

You pose a good question, Scoop!
Same with me, mucus all day no mater what I do. Plus I have a Crazy Cough non- stop through out the day. Every 45 minutes on average and always bringing up mucus. My nose fills up as well. Tissues galore in every basket in the apartment. I take one puff of Albuterol.... wait a few minutes and neb with saline. I'm on a low dose right now. .09%. Then I use the Aerobika Device for 10 minutes then sanitize equipment and gargle with warm salt water. I don't do it a second time....because in the beginning, I felt the process made me cough more. Maybe I need to try it 2x p/d. I'm dealing with the tissues but can't tolerate the Constant Cough much longer, going on 6 months on and off. I need to work with a Respiratory Therapist to check me.

Also have you tried doing the Aerobika attached to your nebulizer so you get more time on it.
Finally, my golden helper: I drink very warm water all day long. It’s been a miracle worker for coughs!

Have you tried 3% saline? I hear it’s more effective in healing the lungs. I can’t tolerate 7% but yes on 3%. Now I am trying half and half of 3 and 7%. I hope to get up to 7%!
