Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis - How to prevent?

Bronchiectasis - Treatments

Bronchiectasis is a chronic condition and often requires life-long treatment.

Usually, the damage to your airways that causes bronchiectasis can’t be reversed.

General measures and lifestyle changes will keep you from falling sick too often. These include:

Balanced diet, increase protein intake
Regular exercise/physical activity
Avoid smoking/smoking cessation
Updated vaccinations against influenza and pneumococcus

The main stay of treatment includes prevention of infections which will further damage your lungs, and improving your symptoms. This can be done through:

Daily chest physiotherapy – to help to clear phlegm from your airways using various breathing exercises and techniques
Antibiotics – prompt antibiotic therapy when acutely unwell or worsening symptoms (“exacerbation”)
Bronchodilators – may help to open up your airways
Mucolytic/mucus clearance agents – to help expectorate the phlegm
Long term inhaled or oral antibiotics

Other Options:

You also have option of participating in clinical trials to see if new treatment or medications work. To find out more, you can call SGH Clinical Trails and Research Centre at +65 6321 3652 or send an email to [email protected]
