DO YOU STERELISE YOUR NEBULISER EQUIPMENT
I've found a very useful way to sterilise it .. They are BIMIRTH Resuable Microwave bags.. I got 16 bags which can be used up to 20 times .. they're for baby stuff but great for your nebuliser bits I paid around £10 for them on Amazon

Pseudomonas and Colomycin nebs
Hi, I just wondered how long you’re usually prescribed nebulised Colomycin for? I had 3 month course last year, then it was stopped, but due to repeated infections I was prescribed another course but for 6 months this time (or until my next review)? I’ve had a review today and although I’ve not had

Recent admission and now what
My asthma has been out of control for the past few weeks, I think mainly due to hay fever. Then I got covid, got antivirals and felt mostly ok. After 6 days tested negative and started a course of steroids for 5days to calm my chest down as it was even less happy. I felt great again 3days after stopping

Please can anyone recommend a ‘thermal disinfector’ for a nebuliser?
Hi, hope you’re all well. After a long flare up of my asthma (non allergic/non eosinophilic), I’ve been prescribed some nebuliser meds and now have a nebuliser (for emergency use only). Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced small disinfector for it. I’ve only ever used a nebuliser in a clinical

Re: cough cough cough
I want to thank you all for your helpful replies. As it happens, I posted my message at just the right time as I actually have an appointment with the GP tomorrow, so I can go armed with all your advice. One thing I’d like to say is that my surgery does not have a nebuliser and if you need to use one

What are your thoughts on breathing techniques vs medication?
Inhaling medication directly into the airways with a handheld inhaler or a
nebulizer
is the most common treatment option. These drugs work by reducing inflammation, opening up the airways, and clearing any mucus build-up in the lungs.

Switch from Azithromycin to Doxycycline
Hi, I have severe asthma and pseudomonas infection for which I’ve been put back on Colomycin nebs following an infection that wouldn’t resolve, but did after I asked my GP if we could try a course of cipro (they didn’t try that first as sputum sample didn’t show pseudomonas). I’ve had to switch from

Has This Happened to You?
They gave me prednisone, albuterol
nebulizer
, chest ex ray (said it was clear???). Pulmonologist said emphysema exacerbation. 5 days of prednisone improved my breathing until I ran out of it. Quite coincidentally 1/7 went to GP for a leg wound. He gave me 7 days of antibiotic.

Food stuck in pharynx-Albuterol tx
The third time just a couple of weeks ago, I had the insight to use the
nebulizer
and albuterol to loosen up the mucus, and thereby moving the bolus of food up and out. It worked well…I was out of discomfort in a matter of minutes.

Covid & copd update
Well my husband got his phone call re new treatment..... He's not eligible even though he has copd, asthma, high blood pressure! Apparently it only includes people with kidney or liver problems, people who are having cancer treatment or who take daily steroids in tablet form. So why send him the priority

Nebuliser
I use my nebuliser at least 4 times a day with saline or Salbutamol 2.5ml dose's which take approximately 5 minutes to administer, During a 3 day stay in hospital I couldn't help but notice how much slower it was to get the same dose of medication from their machine, upto 20 minutes. Is my machine too

L Glutathione aerosol problems
Hello everyone , Two weeks ago I started using my
nebulizer
with a 5ml solution of isotonic saline with 400 mg of dissolved l-glutathione. The problem is that it makes me cough so terribly that I have to stop after a few minutes to catch my breath, it also makes my throat sore.
