Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary illness that does not have a cure. However, there are ways to at least manage symptoms. Primarily, the disease affects the exocrine glands, causing the production of extremely thick mucus and leading to the blockage of some of the respiratory organs. Hence, one way to treat cystic fibrosis is to take medication to improve the function of these organs. These medications include antibiotics to tackle the respiratory infections that the disease may cause.

Another treatment approach is cystic fibrosis is pulmonary rehabilitation. This involves exercise, breathing techniques, nutritional advice, counseling, and education. Pulmonary rehabilitation is used to treat people with chronic respiratory diseases, and cystic fibrosis is no exception. Physical activity helps to clear the “frozen” mucus in the lungs, resulting in better breathing and, generally, better health.
