Hello! Are you doing airway clearance on a daily basis? Airway clearance is frequently compared to flossing your teeth. Clearing out your airways lessens the chances of getting a respiratory infection. Bad respiratory infections can lead to cavity formation in your lungs , similar to a cavity in your teeth.
