Causes of blocked airways:
- lung tumor
- enlarged lymph glands
- inhaled foreign object
- mucus
Genetic conditions:
- cystic fibrosis
- ciliary dyskinesia, including Kartagener’s syndrome
- alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency
Immune problems:
- immunoglobulin deficiency syndromes
- white blood cell problems
- autoimmune or hyperimmune disorders (rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis)

Treatment Bronchial Disease
Medications:
You’ll probably get antibiotics to fight infections. One type, called macrolides (examples are azithromycin and clarithromycin), eases inflammation.
Inhaled corticosteroids can also treat inflammation in your airways. Your doctor may prescribe medicine to thin mucus or help you cough it up (called expectorants).
They might also give you an inhaler or a machine called a nebulizer to breathe in bronchodilators, drugs that open your airways.
Vaccines:
Your doctor will probably suggest that you get flu and pneumonia vaccinations to keep certain infections at bay.
Oxygen therapy and chest physical therapy:
They may also suggest oxygen therapy or methods and devices to shake mucus free.
These treatments are known as chest physical therapy (CPT), chest clapping, or percussion.
They can include physically pounding on your chest to clear your bronchi and lungs, or wearing an inflatable vest that uses air waves to force mucus up.
Surgery:
In severe cases, you might need to have surgery or a lung transplant.
