Bronchiectasis is a form COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) characterized by damage, thickening, and widening of the bronchi. Mucus tends to build up in these widened airways that allow bacteria to flourish there and lead to frequent lung infections. Bronchiectasis can arise from any lung injury. Homeopathic medicines for bronchiectasis can help prevent further progress of pathology but cannot reverse the damage that has already occurred in the airways.
Most cases arise from damage from a condition known as cystic fibrosis. Other conditions that can lead to bronchiectasis include repeated lung infections, abnormal immune system function, an allergic reaction to a fungus known as allergic aspergillosis, alpha 1 – antitrypsin deficiency, HIV, autoimmune diseases and primary ciliary dysplasia. It can also develop in cases of inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) and rheumatological diseases (rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren’s disease).

Dear Dr. Sharma,
I am a chronic patient of Bronchiectasis NTM for several years. For the past three years and continuing, I have been taking the usual medication for NTM, which includes Azithromycin, Ethambutol, and Rifampin. Recently added Clofazimine to these three medications. I hope to get rid of NTM, but do not know the outcome. Can you suggest and help me with Homeopathic treatment, if there is one, to get rid of NTM. I would your help. Thank you and Best Regards

Dear Dr Sharma,
My 8 month old baby has been diagnosed with bronchiectasis he’s fully breastfed but not putting weight on. He’s always breathing heavy and sweating a lot. He wakes up in the middle of the night around 2am crying and coughing and stretching like he’s in pain initially we thought it’s reflux but now we are thinking it maybe pain he’s experiencing.he’s cough is a rattling and wheezing type. He has clear mucus sometimes thick sometimes thin. When it’s hot or humid his cough gets worse with a mucus cough. Also when cold air hits him he he becomes ill with frothy mucus present in his mouth.
Please can you advise he has been tested for Cystic Fibrosis and it was negative currently under investigation for PCD. However we believe it was caused by recurring infections.
Thank you
Hope to hear from you asap
Best Wishes
