Removing a blockage from the lungs typically involves medical interventions such as bronchoscopy, where a thin tube with a camera is inserted into the airways to visualize and remove the obstruction. In cases of mucus buildup, techniques such as chest physiotherapy or suctioning may be used to clear the airways. In emergencies, supplemental oxygen or mechanical ventilation might be necessary to support breathing. If the blockage is caused by a foreign object, surgical intervention may be required.
