Travel advice

Posted by Toni D. @tcd518, Jun 2, 2023

Hello, all. I am going on a two-week trip with no access to a kitchen or such and am bringing along my bronchiectasis, MAC, and restrictive ventilatory defect (I never leave home without them). Currently, I nebulize twice a day with levalbuterol 0.31 mg followed by 7% sodium chloride with my Aerobika hooked up to the nebulizer and am doing okay. I bought a travel-size Pari Trek S nebulizer and a collapsible bowl for washing the Aerobika and neb parts but don't know how I can sanitize them. At home, they go in the dishwasher every two-three days on the "sanitize" cycle. Do you think a soak in vinegar would do the trick? Any other ideas?

I'm also bringing along decongestant pills, a box of 12-hour Mucinex, and a large bottle of Delsym, just in case. Any other recommendations?

Thank you all so much for your help!

@scoop, thanks! Why do you need to use distilled water?

@wangling that’s what my nebulizer calls for. Distilled water does not leave minerals behind on my equipment.
