What are the Treatment Options for Respiratory Damage?
Treatment of respiratory damage depends on the extent and cause of the injury. The primary approach involves removing or reducing exposure to the toxicant. Supportive care, such as oxygen therapy, bronchodilators, and corticosteroids, can alleviate symptoms. In cases of severe damage, rehabilitation and lifestyle changes, including smoking cessation and avoidance of pollutants, are critical. Advanced cases may require surgical intervention or long-term respiratory support.
