I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis last year. After having a scope it was determined that bacteria was growing in the lungs. I have no symptoms, not out of breath, no coughing, no mucous but my pulmonologist wants to put me on the 3 meds. I have a lot of difficulty on antibiotics and I am allergic to many. I am not taking the 3 antibiotics yet and decided to go for a second opinion.......

Maybe this video from National Jewish Health can help you decide what to do


There are many other strategies the people on Connect use to stay healthy without antibiotics. Try searching for "airway clearance" and "7% saline" in the search box on this screen to read about some of them.
What led you to have a scope last year? Where were you thinking of going for a second opinion?
