Overview

There are no definite treatment options, the goal is to manage associated conditions that can lead to worsening of PCD.

Medical Therapy

There are no specific treatment options that help the cilia work appropriately, the main goal is to address underlying issues related to PCD.[1] Few treatment options are;

  • Antibiotics targeted to treat lung or sinus infections
  • Airway clearance techniques, including breathing and coughing exercises like incentive spirometry to maintain clear airways to avoid superinfections.
  • Regular doctor checkups.
