Recently diagnosed bronchiectasis

Hi

I have been recently diagnosed with bronchiectasis and getting my head around managing it. I recently had to look after my little grandson while my daughter had her second baby. He was very poorly with a cough and cold. I did my best with hand sanitizer but I have now developed a sore throat and inflamed upper chest and slight bringing up of mucus. My chest is tight. I have started Doxycycline on advice of GP. Normally I do 30mins of exercise daily but am resting completely today and taken day off work. Please could someone advise if doing the right thing or should I be keeping as active as possible

Thank you

it’s ideal to keep active but only if you’re well enough; listen to your body
