Nebulizer
Can anyone recommend a really good nebulizer for inhaling hypertonic saline solution? One that nebulizes pretty quickly, puts out a lot of "saline vapor," effective in getting the "gunk" out.
Thanks
Laura

Hi Kandy,
thanks for your response. I have heard of mycomyst and have mentioned it to my dr.s but it has not been prescribed. Can you tell me more about using it, side-effects, etc. I would love to find something that will help dislodge the mucous plugs.
