Along with ipratropium bromide, my husband also uses Flonase as suggested by his ENT.

In addition, using the Neti Pot saline solutions rinses once to twice a day helps tremendously . distilled water a must! He also does 5 sprays of Flonase in the Neti Pot when it’s really bad – ENT suggested this. It took a little adjustment period to…

It’s definitely a GO!!!!

But you have to make sure that it is a true pulmonary rehab facility. The first one my husband went to was more like a heart rehab and they claim to be pulmonary rehab. We were fortunate enough to find an actual pulmonary rehab therapy place and they really did a nice job and it helps tremendously. After my…

Ipratropium and the Neti Pot Saline Nasal wash (use only distilled water). If PND is extra heavy do it twice a day. Backwash if you can – that helps. Neti Pot is really amazing. helps so much!! Cannot stress enough how great this is

My husband was prescribed Ipratropium Bromide Nasal Spray. It is amazing how well it works. In addition, it was recommended that he take a Protonic thirty minutes before eating and this has helped. Sometimes it hard to figure out which is causing the cough, the acid reflux or post nasal drip. Protonic and Ipratropium Bromide Nasal Spray…

We have made a point of including protein whether it be from meat, beans , protein bars, or protein drinks; it has worked…
