Treatment of bronchiectatic disease in the stage of relative remission, without the release of copious purulent sputum and hemoptysis

Bronchiectatic disease is a chronic inflammatory disease accompanied by bronchial dilatation. Most often, the cause of the disease is a genetic predisposition, cough, pneumonia, or exposure to the bronchi from the outside (blockage by a foreign body or compression by lymph nodes).

Treatment of bronchiectatic disease is mainly carried out with the help of medications. Anti-inflammatory, sputum-thinning drugs and antibiotics are prescribed. The method of mechanical cleaning of the bronchi from sputum using a special device is also used. Rehabilitation after an acute period of bronchiectatic disease is also important. It is recommended to conduct it in sanatorium-resort institutions.

Spa facilities offer special physiotherapy procedures to combat the disease, such as vibration massage, inhalation, galvanization. Breathing exercises and taking air baths are also the most effective. Thanks to proper nutrition, daily routine, walks in the fresh air, staying in the sanatorium allows you to restore the body after an exacerbation, and physiotherapy procedures allow you to prolong the period of remission (the period of improvement of the condition).
