Need help with airway clearance...

Like Jazzy's momma already said the best method of clearance for me is the 3 little breaths (without exhaling between and then "huffing" it out... I had to explain to my little neice once how to "huff" and we worked on it without the little breaths first...

Just a normal breath and then say "HUFF", I know it sounds silly, but kind of like a dog bark... LOL... like "ruff"... say it fast and from the belly... hehe... so hard to explain without showing you...

I am sitting in my kitchen doing it and just had a coughing ATTACK!!! So maybe that will help...

Best of luck...
