A member asked:
Can you please tell me which is the top conservative management for cough caused by bronchiectasis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pulmonary specialist: I would recommend a pulmonary specialist consultation. This probably depends on the severity of the bronchiectasis. Certain severe chronic bronchiectasis may need long term antibiotic prevention. Mild bronchiectasis from treated nontuberculous mycobacterial infection may just need chest physiotherapy or bronchodilators.
