This disease generally does not require surgery. Abdominal and back edema are likely manifestations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart failure.1. Consider using drugs that enhance and regulate autoimmune function, such as BCG polysaccharide, transfer factor, and Pidotimod, to prevent frequent colds and alleviate the condition.

3. Provide antibiotics, oxygen therapy, and stabilize airway ventilation as needed.
4. Administer cardiac-strengthening and diuretic treatments to reduce the load on the heart.
