After the infection is gone

Take a look at what many of our members have to say about staying healthy after the antibiotics. There is no one-size-fits-all plan, and we need to find our own path.
For example, my bronchiectasis is stable, my infections held at bay for almost 4 years by 7% saline nebs, but no longer daily, with daily airway clearance. I do not boil my water, nor worry about showers, but I am cautious about soil contact, wearing a mask when I garden in dry soil. I have others handle my digging & mulching to minimize exposure. I swim in the ocean and outdoor salt water pools, but not indoor pools. I don't go neat hot tubs.

Thank you Sue, I was a little freaked out by what some of them said they do to keep the bacteria at bay. I'm waiting for my last culture to come back and I am anxious to get started on treatment. I am so greatful to have found all of you . I feel quite alone at times. Thanks

Thank you Sue. Your is always a voice of reason.
