Today’s featured artist is Jenna McKenny with her submission titled! “The Vest”.
Although no specific treatment helps the cilia work properly, there are treatments for the effects that PCD has on patients. These treatments include:
- Antibiotics to address lung or sinus infections;
- Airway clearance techniques, including breathing and coughing techniques, usually with the help of physical therapy or airway clearance devices. These techniques need to be done frequently to help the lungs stay clear; and
New medicines that are being used in research studies.
- The most important steps for managing PCD are to:
- See your health care provider regularly;
- Have lung function and sputum tests for infections;
- Practice regular effective airway clearance; and
- Keep good health practices and follow your health care provider’s advice..
