No coughing and no mucus-Where is all the mucus?

[Guest guest]

What does this mean? Last week my pulmonary doctor's nurse said maybe I was cured. I just laughed and said, "Oh sure."

I was given permission to use a humidifier by my pulmonologist this morning, but do not want to go to Walmart with all the Christmas shoppers. He said to take Mucomix, which I have been doing, saline in with the Tobramycin and saline every four hours. What happened to the mucus? Did it dry up with the cold dry air? My husband had thyroid surgery this morning, and I am supposed to pick him up tomorrow. Our son from Dallas will be coming this evening so that will help. I don't think that I will be doing much cooking though.

If anyone has had this to happen to them?

When you inhale saline, do you still disinfect the nebulizer kits with 3 cups distilled water and 1 cup of distilled white vinegar?

Wishing all Happy and Healthy Holidays,

Lol, this happens to me pretty much all summer long. I call

it " going into remission " . The bronch isn't cured; it just goes

away for a while. It means you're doing something right. (IF you

feel fine, that is; if you don't feel well, there is something

wrong.)

Karin,

I am very short of breath and fatigued; otherwise, I would not mind not coughing. After Christmas I will try to go to Walmart early in the morning before the crowds come, and get the humidifier. If my nose does not run, then I do not have much mucus. My runny nose is due to the vasomotor condition. The indoor heat and outdoor dry air dries up nasal passages, so therefore I do not have much drainage to cough up.

Hello Norma, I wouldn,t worry too much about not much muccous if you

constantly have a runny nose, as that may be they way in which your

condition deals with it.

Vapourisers and humidifiers are wonderful to have on hand , so it won,t be a

waste of money.

You must make sure you drink plenty, when you use any of these kind of

things.Even when you use a nebuliser often, fluids are important.

I really do hope you have some relief soon, and hope you had a lovely Xmas.
