bronchiectasis can't be treated with anti-biotics. Unless you are have lung infection.  Patient with bronchiectasis and lung infection, should use anti-biotics which is effective for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Anti-biotic drus should be used under the guidance of doctor.

Hello, there are very few people who have congenital bronchiectasis because of heredity. The expansion of bronchial tube is not contagious. Most of the causes are repeated infections of the respiratory system that are not cured.
