I have bronchiectasis and the doctor has said I will probably have to take antibiotics ( rifinah and ethambutol) for the rest of my life. I know nothing can eradicate the bronchiectasis but even after this long on the antibiotics it doesn't seem to be stabilising. Another doctor has mentioned IV ( different ) antibiotics for a month but with side effects for kidneys, liver can't remember which now. Does anyone else have experience of long term or IV antibiotics please?
