Alternative medicines?

I have been prescribed: Pulmoclear BD for 30 days. Montek LC OD, Cefpodem XP BD 5 days and pan 40od. Is there any alternative for Pulmoclear? I csnnot sleep when i take this medicine. It makes me hyperactive at night while sleeping.. are there any medicines that target the lungs directly instead of having a systemic effect? Please guide me. I am being treated for probable bronchiectasis/bronchitis based on this xray and symptoms by a pulmonologist... And isn't 30 days of pulmo clear too much? Please see the xray thanks. I had mentioned him that i get a lot of phlegm and throat clearance, maybe I overdid that part, it was like throat clearing many times a day and not enough coughing. Can i reduce it to 5 days? Pls guide.

Is this bronchitis or bronchiectasis

Since i have a history where I was misdiagnosed for a stomach issue by a doctor. I usually end up having 2 opinions about every test just to be sure. Recently i am having a lot of phlegm clearing throat, 2 episodes of blood streaked mucus, cough is no more there however clearing throat is there.. no breathing issues, no fever, no night sweats.. some insomnia problems have started since a week though.. So, coming to the point i showed 1 pulmonologist who ordered an xray and after seeing he said it's BRONCHIECTASIS.. however the 2nd doctor said it's Bronchitis and not the other one. Just to be 100% sure, I want to know what it is exactly? I have attached the xray below. And also, both the doctors advised me for HRCT though. But i am worried about radiation risks. In 2021, 2023, and recently due to bad exposure on one xray i had to do chest xray twice. So overall its 4times, and additionally hrct has a lot of radiation so m scared.. Please guide
