Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, as very well known, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease is not curative and only supportive measures would be advisable:
- Use of bronchi dilator through inhalation puffs which may be of pratropium or others
- Medications of bronchi dilator purpose as
deriphyllin or other
-
Corticosteroids use in case of acute inflammation which may be again of inhaler or oral route purpose
- Mucolytic drugs in case of acute congestion
- Deep breathing exercises
- Use of face mask wisely when exposure to atmospheric pollen or contaminants
- Eat healthy for best immunity
- Regular aerobics as per advise of your physician
- Chest physiotherapy
- Immediate and prompt treatment of any
respiratory tract infection, fever or else systemic problem
- Control of blood sugar and blood pressure levels
- Strict avoidance of active and
passive smoking if involved.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
