A quirky manifestation of bronchiectasis

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!

Hi paxmundi. On one pulm visit I brought up the subject of my taking guaifenesin and he said he did not recommend it. I asked what were his concerns. He did not answer and after a few seconds I said, are you concerned it might dry me out and he said yes. Personally, I don't take it regularly but when I feel I need to "loosen" up my airways I do take it. I believe it helps.
