Hello,
He has been taking antibiotics often but if it is necessary he has to take them. You can use the aerosol with Clenil and saline water to help him with secretions.
The corticosteroids will lower lungs inflammation and here will have fewer secretions and breathe better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
