Non Surgical Alternatives
What are the non surgical alternatives?
-
Antibiotic Therapy : For lung abscess or infections, antibiotics can target the bacteria and allow the body to heal without surgery.
-
Percutaneous Drainage: For large lung abscess, doctors sometimes insert a catheter, a long flexible tube, and drain the fluid. This alleviates most of the symptoms.
-
Chemotherapy : For Lung cancer, you can use radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink the tumour.
-
Lifestyle Modifications : In patients with emphysema, lifestyle modifications such as quitting smoking, exercising regularly and eating a healthy balanced diet can help manage the symptoms.
