Albuterol and infection

crystalina0814 · Dec 21, 2009

For those of you who have CF, and are on Albuterol (nebulizer), how many times a day do you do it when you are sick? I typically do it twice a day when I am well. I have recently finished a round of abx and I am starting to "feel" gunky again. My doc wants me to increase my albuteral aerosols and vest to every 4-6 hours while feeling sick to see if that helps. Does anyone else do this? Do you see an improvement?

Our Dr. usually puts Paige on Albuterol every 4 hours when she's sick. It's totally typical from what I've read. As soon as she starts showing signs of being sick, I automatically add an extra treatment though.

Edited to say that Paige will normally start showing improvement immediately, once we figure out how many treatments work best for her. She's sick now, and I upped her to two treatments today, but I'm thinking I need to add a 3rd...she's still wheezy and coughing.

I should add in too....the reason I am asking is because I feel like I need it up to every two hours. Is this too much? I am waiting on my doc to call back, but since it is not an emergency, than it will probably be tomorrow.
