Active Comparator
Chest physiotherapy with SET
Standard treatment
Chest physiotherapy will be provided by a single physiotherapist not involved in outcomes assessment. Airway clearance technique will be Slow Expiratory Technique (SET). SET is a slow modulation of airflow in order to remove bronchial secretions within infants lungs. Experimental group will also benefit for standard medical and non-pharmacological care (e.g Standard Treatment)
Medical treatment, health education for parents, rhinopharyngeal clearance using isotonic saline solution, advices.
