I don't understand it, I saw the swab and it was yellow. Now what? Anyone have any ideas here? Tuesday was the last day of my Z pack, which I guess did no good anyway since there was no bacteria. My ears are unblocked and my lungs seem to be OK, but I still have horrendously thick drainage running down the back of my throat. If I let up on the regimen below, the productive cough fires up again...

The ENT Nurse Practioneer said she felt it might be related to Sjogren's... Great. Isn't there anything else I can do to relieve this? Or are you just stuck with it if you have Sjogren's? This is really miserable.

Here is what I am currently on for this stuff:

Nebulizer w/Pulmicort and Xopenex 2 X daily
20 mg Prednisone
Mucinex
Irrigation-3, sometimes 4 times daily-Using Sinus Rinse and a couple of drops of peroxide (I even broke down and used Alkalol, which burns like fire)
Singular-Pulmonary doc ok'd starting today

Thanks,
Cathie
