Your son could have a number of things going on, I am not a doctor ut I do have bronchietasis. The infection is caused by widening and deforming in the airways, and mucas can get sticky and get hung behind a widened airway, this causes infection. Doctors will need to get a sample of the infection by ether, your sons sputom, or by using broncoscope to go into the lung and get it. When they do get it, they will choose the right antibotic for the infection.
