Hi all - any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Jason started with a cold 2 weeks ago (we all caught the same cold). We are all better. Jason's as usual is taking longer and causing problems for him. He started on prednisilone 5 days ago with all of his other usual treatments. He has alot of RAD type issues with his CF. Usually the steroid helps more. This time around he is still struggling with a junky wet cough. He says it feels like a ball bouncing around in his neck and it closes off his breathing; if he coughs it temporarily opens it up. He is drinking lots of fluids and doing additional airway clearance. He just can't seem to clear this. He was able to throw up some mucous plugs a few days after the cold started. Could this sensation be more plugs? Any suggestions? Thanks as usual!!!
