Well I've confirmed what I suspected for some time. We switched Katy to a mouthpiece to do Hypertonic Saline, which she calls the "scratchy nose" medicine, and she can't tolerate it very well at all now that she is actually breathing it in. She was clearly cheating it somehow when nebbing it with the Bubbles mask.
She nebs Albuterol prior to HS. She can take just so much of the HS and then has a dry, irritated cough. She says her throat hurts. She has yet to be able to finish the 4 ml. I thought I would get your opinions as well as call the doc. How long did it take (if at all) your child to adjust to HS? If the 3.5% isn't as harsh, is it still doing any kind of job at all? Any other advice or opinions? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
