Bronchorrhea
From Self-sufficiency
Bronchorrhea is the production of more than 100 mL per day of watery sputum.[1] Chronic bronchitis is a common cause, but it may also be caused by asthma,[2] pulmonary contusion,[3] bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, cancer, scorpion stings, and poisoning by organophosphates and other poisons. Massive bronchorrhea may occur in either bronchioloalveolar cancer, or in metastatic cancer that is growing in a bronchioloalveolar pattern.[1][4][5]
Treatment
Treatment options include
- gefitinib - epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor [6][7][8][9][10]
- indomethacin[11][12][13]
- corticosteroids[14]
- octreotide[15]
- radiation therapy[16]
