Nebuliser guidance

[marouska-10]

I hear nebulisers help dislodge gunge and prevent further infections due to a cold ? What nebulizer please? What to put in it ?

Hi, you need first to talk to your health professional , as the medication for a nebuliser has to be prescribed.

There are other devices and breathing exercises that can help dislodge gunk.....your doctor or nurse can advise.

The BLF have a helpline for UK residents open during the working week too. 03000 030 555

Best wishes.

Hello Knitter, thanks. What I was wondering was if hydrogen peroxide and colloidal silver would work?

Knitter is right, you need to discuss with your respiratory team or GP or consultant. It was how I discovered that saline which is commonly used and helps so many people actually worsens my condition. So be ware. Investigate thoroughly.

The GP refuses to send a mild emphysema patient to a pulmonary rehab specialist !

And I had read that a nebulizer with hydrogen peroxide and colloidal silver can help x
