I will only use my nebs once and then it's time to boil. However, if I do albuterol I will follow it with hypertonic (in the same cup at the same setting). Hopefully that is not a problem. And then Pulmozyme is always seperate.
I boil them for at least 10 mins (often times forgetting them until I hear them boiling and rush to the kitchen). Then I pour them in a strainer, pop them in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds to help dry them and then put them on a clean cloth or paper towels until they are dry. I store them in a clean gallon size Zip-lock bag.
It's annoying how much work it is and I recently called my nurse so she could order me a bunch of nebs so I'm not boiling them all the time, but 3 nebs was $75, they are not covered by insurance. So obviously, I didn't order any.
