What are the treatments of cystic fibrosis at home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At home therapies: At home treatments for CF include airway clearance therapies that get mucus out of the lungs. These include a chest vest machine & several types of inhaled medications that make it easier for mucus to come out. Most CF pts also need enzyme replacement as pills every time they eat, multivitamins & reflux medications. Talk to your CF doctor to discuss home regimens as they are patient specific.
