Ever heard of bronchiectasis?
It’s a lung condition where the airways become stretched out and widened, so much so that little pockets form. These pockets trap germs, dust and mucus, leading to repeated infections.
⁣
It creates a vicious cycle: infections damage the airways, and damaged airways lead to more infections.
⁣
Bronchiectasis can affect people of all ages. In adults, it’s often caused by past lung infections like pneumonia or tuberculosis. In kids and infants, it’s usually linked to congenital issues like cystic fibrosis or immune disorders.

Children often become very attached to stuffed toys, carrying their furry friends wherever they go. 🧸
To keep these cherished companions clean and safe for your little one, here are some helpful tips:
Minimize the number of stuffed toys, and only buy them if they’re machine-washable in hot water (55-60°C) and can be put in the dryer.
Make sure the humidity level is below 50%, to reduce the growth of dust mites and moulds. Use a hygrometer to measure humidity levels.
Store stuffed animals inside a trunk or other storage case when not used to limit exposure to dust and dust mites.

What is bronchiectasis?
Bronchiectasis is a condition in which your airways widen and stretch out. In some places the airways are so stretched out they form little pockets. Germs, dust and mucus collect in these pockets and get stuck, which can cause infection. Bronchiectasis creates a vicious cycle: infections in airway pockets damage your airways, and when your airways are damaged, you get more infections.
Bronchiectasis is considered an obstructive lung disease. It can affect adults, children and infants. Adults usually get bronchiectasis after an infection in the lungs, for example after severe pneumonia, tuberculosis or whooping cough.
In babies and children, bronchiectasis is often the result of a congenital problem (a problem they are born with or develop during birth). The main cause of congenital bronchiectasis is cystic fibrosis. Other conditions such as immunodeficiency disorders are also linked to bronchiectasis.
