Overload of mucus as usual. Does anyone have “wet” bronchiectasis?
Replies
Hello! I am sorry to read about your mucus overload. Wet Bronchiectasis is seen in many patients. When did you have your last sputum culture test done? Has your Pulmonologist discussed Brensocatib with you ? It is the first drug specifically approved to treat non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis; blocks enzymes contributing to airway inflammation
Do you use mucus -thinning agents — Hypertonic saline and expectorants help loosen secretions. Had you been doing airway clearance on a regular basis?
