A little confused

[Phronsias2]

Hello

About 3 weeks ago my GP prescribed Erdotin 2 daily for 10 days ,then a 3 day break and 10 days 2 daily and so on, I spoke to my GP today,and was told Erdotin can not be taken long term and I must have a 5 - 10 day brake between my 10 days of Erdotin,

Can anyone tell me how long can I take Erdotin months ,a year?

Thanks in advance

Ive not looked into that.im on carbocysteine but stop and take erdotin for 10 day course.personally,as i produce lot of mucous due to bronchiectasis, i find that after a week,im drowning but able to expectorate easier.i only take it when acutely ill.have they tried u on carbocysteine between flare ups x

Thanks for your reply!

The cause of my breathing difficulties is as yet unknown because tests are delayed due to the pandemic.

Have u been taught how to expectorate the mucous,as it loosens?

Hi

No but I looked on youtube I think it was called huffing. Is that what you mean?

[Patk1 in reply to Phronsias2]

Yes.takes bit of practise but really helps.look at active cycle of breathing as part of it too.no point loosening and thinning mucous if u have no way of getting it up n out.
