Experiences with

Saline

7 is causing me to gag and choke w so much mucas.. stringy too. any one else take this or the 3.5? Which is better and how long do you nebulize w the 7?

On researching I’ve read that saline hypertonic 7% is much more effective. I just wanted to know what others are using and whether I should suggest an upgrade when I next see my resp consultant. Thank you everyone as always Jo xx

So I’ve just bought an Omcrom nebuliser and saline solution to see if it helps. I have tried in just once; it took some time to use up the 2ml of saline and I had to stop a couple of times as it made me cough. My nose felt a bit stuffed up afterwards.

When in Scotland the winter before last I inquired in a post here about a Saline Solution IV. The how not to heal and why crowd went berserk. In the USA we have drip bars where one can purchase a Saline Solution IV. The cost is around $100.00 USD.

Hi everyone The ENT consultant has put me on gaviscon advance incase of silent reflux and sterimar saline nasal spray for the sinuses This is because of my voice problems as they might be irritating the vocal cords.

Subsequently I’ve got myself a nebuliser for saline and other fluids with the view to helping me get rid of the ever increasing amounts of very sticky phlegm. It works well and does help but the saline solution burns if I use it too often.

Took my reliever and came down stairs and went on my mini nebulizer with just saline. This helped but it scared me. I have been very inactive recently due to other health problems and get out of breath sometimes.

Hi, can anyone recommend a good nebulizer to help clear the phlegm in my throat using a saline solution as I have Bronchiectasis and am finding it very difficult to shift. I am on carbosistine and also is the huffing method. Any advice would be very much appreciated

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?

Hi everyone, my Respiratory Consultant has suggested I try nebulising with saline to help clear my chest and hopefully reduce the problem of mucus plugging which then impacts my breathing obviously. I’ve bought the nebuliser and have the saline on prescription.

I HAVE TONS of mucas all the time tho use saline neb and oscillating vest twice a day. adjustable bed but mucas still drains what is the best diet for this illness\?

When I have a really bad flare up, after about ten bowel movements, bile in my stomach goes up my oesophagus and I can’t stop vomiting bile until I’m put on a saline drip for dehydration. All advice greatly appreciated.

I haven’t been using my nebuliser as everything is too much effort right now, and I didn’t know if saline inhalation might affect my throat, which is better than it was. Is there anything I should be doing to help my recovery? And when can I expect the doxycycline to work?

Lucky cos there is world shortage of iron and saline. Let’s hope that builds up my iron levels and general energy and sence of wellbeing, What a roller coaster we hv to ride with thyroid issues.

Terrible beaches hot cold sweats, diareah, vomiting, fainting, weak internal shakes pain in chest and the I've saline goes into my chest cavity. Causing me no breath and pain. Very terrible experience last week at the hospital.

Pre-meds of saline and other good stuff is pumped into my Hickman line. At 11.30 nurses arrived with a bag of cells with my name on it!

I use saline and an oscillating vest twice a day and warm shower to loosen it so I just dont understand what is wrong all of a sudden. Thank u in advance.

My tongue and mouth have become less sore, warm saline rinses help, and my dentist said yesterday all looked fine. It was scary weekend. You all made it more tolerable!

I saw a person on another platform say that they add the saline to the powder and draw up multiple syringes in a dark room with only a specialised red lamp as a light source! Surely that cannot be necessary??
