Weaning off of saline

Posted by kgggg @kgggg, Oct 2 4:15pm

I’ve been on 7% saline for about a year. Started at 3X a day then down to 2X a day and to 1X time a day. Now I’m using it every three days. Wondering if anyone has any experience weaning themselves off totally. It’s been great for me.

When I started, it was two times a day, which did the trick.

Is he doing anything else to help expectorate the mucous? ie drinking plenty of fluids, postural drainage, chest percussion, deep breathing, aerobika .....these all help in conjunction with the hyper-sal nebulizers.
