I do most of my lung clearance every morning using special breathing techniques, using a flutter, nebulised saline and lots of huffing for 40 minutes. However, I still find myself coughing an enormous amount, especially when starting exercise. To stop the cough I could take more antibiotics but I also feel scared to build resistance against too many antibiotics and try not to overdo them. I also think moderate daily exercise is crucial to my health. In my normal daily life I have two 20-40 minutes of aerobic outdoor sessions per day. The coughing is and sounds terrible none the less, but I feel I need to exercise for my life...
