Hello...
Bronchiectasis is irreversible damage and distortion of terminal bronchioles leads to formation of pockets those are main source of mucus formation and patient coughs heavily productive sputum per day.
In this case, you have to take Bronchodilators like Tab Acebrophylline 100 mg twice a day associated with Tab Montelukast + Fexofenadin twice a day, with Inhalation bronchodilators like Tiotropium Rotacaps with Rotahaler 1 cap twice a day. Along with You have to take Mucolytics like Mucinac capsule 600 mg twice a day, with some Postural drainage of sputum and chest physiotherapy and chest expansion exercises. You also have to take a long course that is 6 weeks course of antibiotics like Moxifloxacin 400 mg once a day or Azithromycin 500 mg once a day or Augmentin Duo 1 gm twice a day.

Thank You
