My apologies if this topic has already been covered—this PDF doesn't have an index, the search function isn't yielding anything, and I simply don't have the time to manually scroll through 😳
So, about two months ago, I caught a cold. For me, these things always follow a specific pattern: I go through at least one entire roll of tissues a day just blowing my nose, and a massive amount of congestion drains into my lungs, causing a terrible cough 😳. Ever since I was a kid, even minor colds turn into something much more serious. It’s a combination of sinus issues, a deviated septum, and severely irritated nasal passages from the constant, excessive 🤦 use of Afrin nasal spray 😳. But no matter how bad things get, my symptoms usually never last longer than two, maybe three weeks
.
Yet, here I am, struggling with a persistent cough and nonstop drainage for two full months now 😢. Two weeks ago, I finally hit my limit and went to see Dr. Klapan at the Klapan Medical Group. After running some tests, he prescribed using a Respira ultrasonic nebulizer paired with saline solution and dexamethasone drops. The problem is, I've already spent $250 on the visit, and nothing in his office actually provided relief. His big solution is this nebulizer that costs about $100 (and that’s before the drops and saline, so the total will likely climb toward $125) 🙄. He claims you can find that same device cheaper elsewhere, maybe for around $45 $133, but everywhere I look, the price stays roughly the same 🤷
Basically, I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with these ultrasonic nebulizers? Do they actually work, and are they worth the investment? Also, if anyone knows where I might find the specific Respira model he prescribed for the best possible price, please let me know
.
Thanks in advance to everyone 🙂
