A quirky manifestation of bronchiectasis

Hello! I do not have the same difficulties as yourself, but I am wondering: why do you take the guaifenesin "occasionally". I have found this to be very helpful in 'moving' the sputum much easier.
I take 600mg twice a day. Without it, I am coughing more, and struggling with 'glue'-like mucous. The guai keeps things more liquid.
You are already drinking lots of water, perhaps this would prove helpful for you too.
All the best.

I probably should take this more often. I will try it and see if it also helps. I watched a webinar on bronchiectasis posted on this site by a Dr. Meretsky from the University of Connecticut Medical School and he said there were no studies showing that guaifenesin helps, but so many here say it does, that it is worth a try. Thank you!
