@brody89 I feel for you. After two years I was getting depressed. I like how you're looking out for positive futures. For me, the antibiotics worked and was directly correlated feeling better. That is what clued me into that it was a bacterial infection even without the tests showing positive. My sputum was thick and gray yellow which I associated with white blood cells fighting infection. From your description, it sounds like you've got something else going on. I wish you the best!

@shonney Yes maybe it is the conditon worsing with age.
My sputum is crystal clear.
I am getting a septoplasi nose job strightening my middle bone and also turnbinate reduction surgery in the next 4 months may help a little.
All the respiratory specilaists seem to always lean to infection, i could have a infection deep within my lungs but have been on 3 different courses of antibiotics and nothing has changed.
With Bronchietasis the airways are widened and more sputum is produced from the airways.This can cause the risk for more infections, one way to look at it, is if it is an infection you can treat it.
Thanks for your reply.
