One question for those treated with Doxy and Pred. Did they do any sputum culture first? Or is this just a standard one size fits all treatment option for Bronchiectasis flairs? And how much of a flair do you get before resorting to it? What symptoms? Wonder why they pair the Doxy with Pred and you could just take Doxy alone.

The prednisone is for inflammation as I understand it. It's especially helpful if you have asthma too because any fair up in the lungs exacerbates the asthma
