Hi,

You are having bronchiectasis and fibrotic scarring in lung. You have to investigate further with sputum culture, HRCT scan for further work up. For cough drainage physiotherapy beneficial. You can be prescribed inhaled antibiotic like Tobramycin. You strictly have to avoid smoking. Bronchodilator group of drugs and steroid is beneficial in your case. Your arterial oxygen saturation also has to be monitored. You should consult only pulmonologist for your management and examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
