Hi, I suffer with bronchiectasis and have problems with shifting the thick phlegm in my lungs using the breathing technique the medics suggested.

Good evening all, Last week, I asked for advice: Please I need help… I have lots of phlegm coming up. My scan showed mucus plugs. I had some great replies, for which I am very grateful. A few days ago, the consultant prescribed Muco Clear 3%, taken through a nebuliser... what a difference

I got one of these so as to have less luggage going to visit a daughter nd her family. I use a nebuliser 2x daily with saline Using the battery operated one I cough and cough afterward for about 30 minutes s no change in medication so is this to be expected using a different nebuliser?

I have been on Colomycin nebuliser for many, many years which I obtained from our local hospital. Now my consultant has decided for me to obtain the prescription from my GP surgery. But when I collected the meds from my local pharmacy they had dispensed Promixin instead. Anyone else had this problem

Fighter Ralph is back in the room.He's walking every day, needs to rest every few yards but admits he's going a bit further before getting so breathless. He's now even saying I'm having a walk without being asked. As yet, he isn't walking very far, but doing a few extra steps each day, so I'm proud
