Bronchiectasis Treatment

Bronchiectasis treatment aims to manage symptoms, prevent infections, and improve quality of life. It often includes airway clearance techniques like chest physiotherapy and devices to help clear mucus. Medications such as antibiotics are used to treat infections, while bronchodilators can open airways. In some cases, inhaled corticosteroids reduce inflammation. Pulmonary rehabilitation and exercise enhance lung capacity. Severe cases may require surgical interventions or procedures to remove damaged lung tissue. Ultimately, treatment is personalized based on the severity and symptoms, with the goal of reducing flare-ups, improving breathing, and preventing further lung damage.
