What Is Bronchiectasis?
8. Bronchiectasis Management
Medical treatment helps ease some of the symptoms of bronchiectasis, but there are other things that can be done to reduce the potential for flareups and alleviate symptom severity. If you have been diagnosed with this condition, do not smoke. Healthy lifestyle choices are important for managing the disease.
Eating a healthy diet helps the body to fight off infections. Work with your doctor to develop an appropriate exercise routine that will support lung functioning and move mucus out of your body. Drink a sufficient amount of water. This reduces the stickiness of mucus, making it easier to expel from the lungs.
