@pattyrobertson I would never assume that you, or anyone else, requires antibiotics. That is a decision for you and your care team, taking your total situation into consideration.

In my case. I need at least 4 ot these symptoms - increased sputum or change in consistency, increased cough, lung congestion/crackles, fever, fatigue, night sweats, weight loss, decreased appetite...before my docs give me antibiotis.

@pattyrobertson When I travel, my primary care physician prescribes azithrommcin and Methylprednisolone to carry with me just in case. He's familiar with my long history of respiratory infections and diagnosed BE. Idon't bother asking my pulmonologist since he never mentioned BE.
