I do 3-4 different neb meds twice a day. I wash and boil them everytime. I usually have on hand 8 nebs at a time, an a spare in case one breaks.

I have started using my (empty after treatment) Xopenex neb for my HTS that follows 15 mins. later, so right now I can boil mine every other day -2 nebs per treatment time (4 a day) instead of 3 (6 a day). When my Tobi gets here, I will be back to sterilizing them everyday <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> . (I am also getting the Xopenex inhaler to try this month <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> ).

When I think about how many times I have started coughing with my neb in my mouth- ugh, the germs! I've gotta sterlize them everytime... <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0">

So I've just read this post and comments, as well as the other boiling nebs topic, and you've all just given me a huge wake-up call. I rinse my nebs out once a day!! As in, NOT after every treatment. I've boiled them, I think once or twice since I've had them..TERRIBLE. I DO rinse them in a vinegar solution, which I was told should happen at least once a week, but I do it probably once a month, IF that.

So I have been completely ignorant on this topic and can't believe the importance of sterilization has never been stressed (or even explained) at any of my clinic visits. I guess they think it's just a given; that we all know or should know. This just shows how valuable a forum like this can be. Thank you all so much for this info. I'm making BIG changes, starting tonight!!
