Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hi Sandie, I think you've got a very good point about the conundrum of whether it's better to control a cough or to bring the gunk up. I've been on Combivent for a couple of days now and while it has substantially redued my cough, the darn yellow stuff has come up again! And, unfortunately, it does seem thicker and yellower than before. Now I'm really lost as to whether it's better to control the cough (from what I understand, coughing can lead to more inflammation and hence infection and lung damage) or if it's better to actually keep coughing to bring the mucus up (when mucus itself can lead to inflammation, infection and damage)!?! Wow, talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place! Perhaps I'll use the Combivent only twice a day instead of four times a day and see how that works. Thx for your continual input on this site. I think you have some really good points. Thx again, Cassie Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo! Search.
