I’m concerned that having the lap before could throw my cycle out of wack (although very painful

Hi, I am still learning about bronchiectasis and how to treat and manage it to minimise deterioration. My gp was happy to prescribe carbocysteine and Mucoclear and I have found this helps loosen the phlegm in my lungs so I can clear them to some extent.
