A member asked:
I have bronchiectasis with repeated infections but do not bring up vast amounts of sputum. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
People are different: People with different types of bronchiectasis have different symptoms - some with bad radiographic bronchiectasis have few symptoms while others have purulent sputum - most of the time bronchiectasis is not worrisome - it is more annoying than anything.
