What is Bronchiectasis?
Bronchiectasis is a condition where the airways in the lungs become abnormally widened and permanently damaged. This damage prevents the lungs from effectively clearing mucus, leading to recurrent infections and progressive lung damage.
Common Symptoms
- A chronic cough that produces large amounts of sputum.
- Shortness of breath.
- Frequent chest infections.
- Wheezing.
- Chest pain and general fatigue.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosis primarily relies on a High-Resolution CT (HRCT) scan of the chest, alongside pulmonary function tests and sputum cultures to identify infection-causing bacteria.
Treatment options include:
- Antibiotics: To control recurrent infections.
- Airway Clearance Techniques (Chest Physiotherapy): Exercises and devices to help expel mucus from the lungs.
- Bronchodilators and Inhaled Medications: To make breathing easier.
- Hydration: Drinking enough water to keep mucus thin.
