Also, do you do hypertonic saline? That's a great way to make sure the cilia that line your airways to help move the virus and mucus out of your lungs.


Do you culture PA?</end quote></div>



I have HTS but don't use it consistently. Did it once over the weekend and it helped. Will do it more, thanks. No, don't culture for PA, only staph aureus which goes untreated unless I'm very sick. Right now with no fever or flu like symptoms I think doc wouldn't want me to take it.
Thanks for input, I'll up my airway clearance and hope that is enough.

I will keep a close eye on it and if I it gets any worse I'll go to my clinic. Luckily they gave me a prescription for abx to put aside-I always have that if I suddenly get worse. Thanks.
