Is that treatment for bronchiostasis? If it is I hope it breaks up or helps break up mucus.

No, the meds are to eradicate the bacterial infection. Unfortunately, there's no treatment for bronchiectasis. They are doing a trial now for a potential bronchiectasis med called Brensocatib.
The doctors who have their 'finger on the pulse' of bronchiectasis recommend nebulizing with saline and using a PEP device to get mucus moving out of lungs and mitigate progression of the condition.
