What is the best way to treat lung atelectasis and patchy on it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If there is no underlying infectious process, deep breathing technique (deep inspiration by nose 2 seconds, hold 3-4 seconds and slowly breath out for 6-8 seconds) or doing incentive spirometry with cough if you have the spirometer, or just take deep inspiration, hold breath then slowly coughing the air out instead of breathing out.
