Hi,
COPD is a chronic condition and recurrent attack is very common.
Every time he might not require antibiotics.
Give him some broncho-dilator medicine or inhaler if require.
Quit smoking if he smokes.
Ask him to go for Deep breathing exercises daily and regularly.
Avoid fried, spicy and junk food.
Avoid cold drinks.
Ok and take care.
