How To Diagnose And Treat Aspiration Pneumonia

Physiotherapy

Many patients will receive some physiotherapy during their recovery from aspiration pneumonia. Physiotherapy for this condition is intended to help patients improve their breathing and clear any mucous that may still be in their lungs. Patients will often have special breathing exercises as part of their treatment to build up their lung strength again. After all, many patients with aspiration pneumonia require breathing assistance during the peak of their illness. Other aspects of physiotherapy for aspiration pneumonia include manual chest therapies, cough assist devices, and general exercise and mobility activities.
