Medications include (1) antibiotics, to treat lung infections, (2) mucus-thinning drugs, helping the patient cough up the mucus, (3) bronchodilator, which helps to keep airways open by relaxing muscles around bronchial tubes, and (4) oral pancreatic enzymes which help the digestive tract absorb nutrients. Patients can also receive chest physical therapy, helping loosen mucus so the patient can cough it up. One of these techniques involves clapping with cupped hands on the front and back of the patient's chest. There are three Mechanical devices that are commonly used to help loosen mucus (1) a chest clapper that mimics the effect of cupped hands clapping over the rib cage, (2) inflatable vest, that is worn around the chest and vibrates at high frequency, and (3) breathing devices, which normally include a tube or mask through which the patient exhales while also performing breathing exercises.
