At home treatment
==== - A treatment called Postural drainage and percussion is used and doctors recommend you preform it daily. During PD & P, the child would be positioned against a pillow or upside down. Then someone needs to clap the childs back with a cupped hand quickly and rhythmically. This will loosen the mucus allowing it to drain. After clapping, apply vibrations to help move mucus. Finally, the child needs to huff and cough to move the mucus up. ====

-Exercise is important to maintain because it will help keep infection away as well as eating healthy and drinking lots of water.
