The primary challenge in treating NTM lung disease is managing the buildup of mucus. In patients with NTM, the airways are more prone to obstruction due to excess mucus, which can trap bacteria, making it difficult for the body to clear out harmful pathogens and causing recurring infections. That’s where airway clearance techniques come into play. Learn about airway clearance techniques and more from our blog: https://bit.ly/4aaF8yU

Here's what you can do to reduce exposure to NTM: - Do airway clearance regularly. - Prevent reflux of stomach contents into esophagus - Foam wedge / adjustable bed to elevate head-of-bed at least 30 degrees - Avoid body positions that promote reflux. - Avoid food or drink 2-3 hrs before lying down. - If not needed, avoid drugs that may promote reflux (e.g., albuterol inhalers). - Avoid prone sleeping position as head of bed elevation not feasible. - Find medical professionals with expertise, enthusiasm, and patience to treat NTM lung disease.
