Patient's question:
I have chronic bronchitis and emphysema for several years. Every time I have an attack, I must receive intravenous fluids to relieve it. What medicine should I take for chronic bronchitis and emphysema?Doctor's answer:
Emphysema develops on the basis of chronic bronchitis and is very difficult to relieve. It can only be alleviated by taking many anti-inflammatory drugs. In daily life, it is important to pay attention not to eat spicy and irritating foods, not to smoke or drink beer. The diet should be light. Emphysema cannot engage in strenuous exercise, but it should also be sufficiently active to reduce immunity. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
