Turn treatment-time into play-time with bubble play. Different size bubble wands require different amounts of airflow to create the bubbles which can in turn have great airway clearance benefits. Chasing bubbles made by others helps encourage uncoordinated exercise which varies the airflow through a PCD patient’s airways to mobilize secretions. If you’re struggling to get your child engaged with their airway clearance techniques try turning airway clearance into play, it could help lessen the burden of persuading your child to do their treatments. If you’re an adult, remember that the best airway clearance technique for you is the one that you will actually do. There are tons of airway clearance techniques and tons of outside the box ideas as well. Experiment today and put the fun back into your life. Remember airway hygiene is an important part of primary ciliary dyskinesia care.
