Yes, a collapsed lung, also known as pneumothorax, can be fixed through medical treatment. The primary goal of treatment is to re-inflate the lung and prevent it from collapsing again. This can be achieved through procedures such as chest tube insertion, pleurodesis, or surgery. In some cases, a small collapse may resolve on its own without the need for medical intervention. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect you have a collapsed lung in order to receive the appropriate treatment.
