Dr. Sun Qifeng
Bronchiectasis can be managed through the following measures: patients are advised to quit smoking and avoid alcohol, and should refrain from consuming raw, cold, spicy, or highly irritating foods. It is recommended that patients increase their daily water intake to help thin mucus and facilitate its expulsion. In daily diet, patients should consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, which can help moisten the lungs and promote phlegm resolution.
