Diagnosis of mild bronchiectasis in 93 yr female

Posted by migizii @migizii, Apr 3, 2024

This is a question regarding the decision to provide treatment. There has been a diagnosis by a CAT scan with no follow up determined by gp. The woman is in good physical health with mild cognitive disorder. I realize there would be a need for further input from a medical professional, but I am interested in learning people’s opinions. She is experiencing daily breathlessness with some impact with daily living (minimal at this point). Thank you for any input.

I have been taking the iiquid guaifenesin, it is helping. However, I have not liked taking it because of the dye they put in it...nor do I like taking anything with dye in it or other added ingrediants that aren't necessary for your health, or bad for one's health, condition etc.....as added sugar for taste.
Your post gives me hope to be able to avoid all that.
I called the local compounding pharmacy to inquire, they indicated I need the doctor to write a specific prescription of what to put in it or not put in it. Any information you can share regarding, how and what, of your compounded guaifensein will be greatly appreciated. I am in OKC not NYC or Rochester etc. etc., so more limited in medical resources etc. Barbara

That's why I use the generic 400 mg white tablets of guaifenesin instead. I love the liquid but I agree about the dye. The white tabs have titanium dioxide, which is also a bit of an issue but...
