    Hypertonic Saline in 2 year old

    Please don't worry about increased sputum, it's not anything NEW- it will just be allowing her to expel what is already THERE by hydrating and thinning it. So if you see more- be glad she is getting rid of it. Every time Emily has started a tx that resulted in productive cough and expelling...
