What Is Bronchiectasis?
10. Bronchiectasis Prevention
Preventing lung damage is the best way to prevent bronchiectasis. This includes avoiding environments where you would breathe in particulates as much as possible or wearing appropriate protective equipment if they can’t be avoided. If you smoke, stop. If you don’t smoke, don’t start.
If you develop the symptoms of a lung infection, seek medical treatment. Be sure that your children are inoculated against whooping cough and measles. Unfortunately, the congenital causes of bronchiectasis cannot be prevented.
