Best time to nebulize sodium chloride?
When is the best time to nebulize with sodium chloride? I have been using 3% saline twice a day....usually before meals. I plan on going out to dinner over the long holiday weekend and I am not sure if I should nebulize before or after dinner. Does anyone ever enjoy a glass of wine with bronchiectasis? Thank you!

Best time is early am when you get up since secretions pull over night.
Try it earlier in the evening or shortly before bed to see what works best for you. It takes awhile to figure out what the best routine is for you.
Of course we can enjoy a glass of wine 🍷 at times. We cannot eliminate everything or we would not be able enjoy life. Some take Pepcid or other acid reducers beforehand.
Enjoy your weekend.
