Answer with Explanation

The cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes the infection in the lungs by limiting the breathing of the lungs. The cystic fibrosis can be lethal for a person as due to obstruction of bronchioles less oxygen is supplied to heart and shortness of breathe occurs. However, if this going on the long term it may become the reason of the death of a person. The basic treatment of cystic fibrosis is to use antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and bronchodilators to clear up the mucus obstructed in the bronchioles and avoid the swelling and inflammation of the lungs.
