@picartist What I meant is that coughing is reduced except during exacerbations. For some that percentage is higher or lower. It's helpful to know where the bronchiectasis is in your lungs so that you can target those areas during clearance. For example, I have some right upper lobe involvement and I can usually get that out from an upright seated position. For anything below that it can be helpful to lie down with hips propped up on a sleeping wedge or pillows/blankets with head slanted down.
