If you have bronchiectasis, a chronic lung disease associated with frequent infections and sputum production, keeping your sputum thin and clear is the key to prevent infections.
I highly recommend watching the videos on www.bronchiectasis.com.au and trying to do, at least once a day, some exercises to clear the sputum. Start with the Active Cycle of Breathing, and then speak to your Respiratory Physician about more advanced options like the Bottle PEP, Acapella or other positive expiratory pressure devices.
