Hi folks, Can a saline nebuliser be used to assist thining of secretions in someone with lung fibrosis?
My husband suffers with severe COPD and does use the saline especially when he has an infection and it does seem to really help. Perhaps a call to the helpline could give you better advise. TAD xx
A take 7% hypertonic saline nubulised to help bring my gunk up.
As far as scar tissue did see pics and is quite horrific what it dose to your lung ... There is a pill that helps with scar tissue but you would have to ask your GP or other members ... Or just stick to lite excersises
Cheers all the best 
I find saline nebs do thin my secretions. I have bronchiectasis. Why not ask your doctor?
I was given saline nebs whilst in hospital and I have pulmonary fibrosis. So yes I would say you could take them, but check with your gp or consultant first. - Dozy
Morning, I use Saline nebulisers twice to four times a day to do just this job. I have ILD and pulmanory fibrosis. It makes a huge positive difference. Speak with your GP or Respiratory care team.
Thank you so much to all those that replied. I'm hoping that I can encourage my mum to become a member on here,as you are all so encouraging and positive
