Sinus issues causes Bronchiectasis exacebation?

I had a bronchoscopy done and they found those. Treated for that, but it was months ago. Have had two respiratory problems since. Was on antibiotics for four years, then off with many issues.
Have an excellent team of pulmonologists. My pulmonary PA would like to get a third sinus surgery. They’ve never helped in my opinion.
Thank you

Have they tried nasal antibiotics when you have an exacerbation to rule out the sinuses as the source of your lung issues? Or cultured the sinus bacteria and the lungs at the same time?
I agree, except for fixing a badly deviated septum from a broken nose, sinus surgery did nothing for my frequent infections.

One thing that has helped me is to avoid both sinus infections ans lung exacerbations is to use Mucinex and NAC to thin all the mucus in my body. NAC is also antiinflammatory.
