Burning/irritation in throat/ chest after nebulizing and huffing

When I have irritation of my throat from nebbing or whatever I take 1/3 - 1/2 teaspoons of Manuka honey. It is a little pricey but does a good job. I've decided I'm worth it. Also try using half 3% and half 7% to give yourself a break. My pulmonary doc does not believe 7% is better than 3% and won't give me an Rx for it. I'm going to order 7% from some supplier without Rx as it does seem to do well for out condition as indicated from our MAC folks. Good luck.

You can get 7% from Amazon. Mine came within one day.

Thanks for the honey tip! I'll give it a try. My NJH doc says that 7% is more irritating (no kidding!) to the lungs and helps those of us who are non-productive coughers produce. I'll give the half and half a go and see if that helps. I just had to go to my GI doc because I thought I was having some sort of gastrointestinal issue...turns out it's a strained abdominal muscle from coughing so hard! Last year it was a burst blood vessel in my left eye. I really do try to bring stuff up but it just doesn't happen easily. I appreciate your suggestion.
