Hi, thanks for using Healthcare Magic, I understand your concern.
You need not worry, because the right combination of treatments will allow you to live a better life. Some treatment steps that can be done include:
1. Stop
smoking or avoid exposure to cigarette smoke. This is a key step to ensure
COPD does not deteriorate.
2. Using drugs. For example, respiratory or respiratory inflammatory inhalers, theophylline-releasing tablets,
mucolytic tablets (sputum and nasal diluent),
antibiotic tablets, and
steroid tablets.
3. Therapy for the lungs, such as nebulisation (a machine that sprayed sterile liquid vapors that have been mixed with breathing drugs) and
oxygen therapy.
4.
Pulmonary rehabilitation program in the form of physical exercise that will normally stay about 1.5 months. In this program, people will be taught how to control symptoms as well as various knowledge about COPD.
In addition to medical care, there are some simple steps that we can do to inhibit the increasing damage of the lungs. Some of them are:
1. Use medicines as recommended by your doctor. Do not stop without discussing with a doctor even if the condition feels better.
2. Check regularly with your doctor so that your health condition can be monitored.
3. Implement a healthy lifestyle, such as maintaining a healthy diet and exercise.
No need to worry too much, because with the above tips and also think positive then your complaints will be resolved.
