Bronchiectasis in children and teenagers

Hello everyone. I hope those of you reading this with bronchiectasis are feeling well right now.

I have a 14 year old son with bronchiectasis and I wondered if anyone here has experience with children with the condition. My son got it after contracting a superbug in hospital seven years ago. He takes azithromycin three days a week and does airway clearance daily. However, I am worried that as he gets older it will get increasingly difficult for him to comply with the airway clearance, and I will have less control over him! He currently accepts it's part of his life, but his clearance technique isn't always great. I try to encourage him to get as much exercise as possible, but you know - he's 14!

Any thoughts at all that could help our situation would be gratefully received.
