Though I’m an American, I found this video informative. I was recently diagnosed with bronchiectasis and was curious to know what foods and drinks would be beneficial. Thank you for making this video! 🙂

@@ashishkumarbehera2140 Sorry I’m not a doctor. Plus, there’s no medicine that can cure bronchiectasis either. So I’m not sure why you’re asking a stranger (me) for medicine.
