Struggling with Chronic Cough and Frequent Chest Infections?
You could be suffering from Bronchiectasis, a chronic lung condition where the airways (bronchi) become permanently widened, making it difficult to clear mucus from the lungs. This leads to persistent cough, repeated infections, and breathing difficulties.
At Pranika Chest Clinic, under the expert care of Dr. Vikas Kumar, we offer advanced diagnosis and personalized treatment for Bronchiectasis to help you breathe easier and live better.
What is Bronchiectasis?
Bronchiectasis is a lung disease that causes irreversible damage to the bronchial tubes, leading to mucus buildup, chronic cough, and lung infections.
It can be caused by:
- Repeated lung infections
- Untreated pneumonia or tuberculosis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Autoimmune conditions or congenital lung problems
Symptoms of Bronchiectasis:
- Persistent, wet cough producing thick mucus
- Shortness of breath, especially with activity
- Chest pain or tightness
- Frequent respiratory infections
- Fatigue and wheezing
- Bad-smelling phlegm
