Treatment of bronchiectatic disease is mainly carried out with the help of medications. Anti-inflammatory, sputum-thinning drugs and antibiotics are prescribed. The method of mechanical cleaning of the bronchi from sputum using a special device is also used. Rehabilitation after an acute period of bronchiectatic disease is also important. It is recommended to conduct it in sanatorium-resort institutions.
Spa facilities offer special physiotherapy procedures to combat the disease, such as vibration massage, inhalation, galvanization. Breathing exercises and taking air baths are also the most effective. Thanks to proper nutrition, daily routine, walks in the fresh air, staying in the sanatorium allows you to restore the body after an exacerbation, and physiotherapy procedures allow you to prolong the period of remission (the period of improvement of the condition).

Treatment results
Conservative treatment avoids the progression of the disease and the development of complications as much as possible. Sometimes, children have cases of complete recovery, without surgical intervention.
Consequences of lack of treatment
Complications affect not only the respiratory system, but also other organs. For example, in addition to pulmonary bleeding and lung abscess, sepsis may occur, threatening the patient's life.
