Can young people with emphysema be treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Can pulmonary emphysema be treated in young people?

Doctor's answer:

Having emphysema is related to respiratory diseases in daily life. If you have chronic bronchitis, timely treatment is necessary. In most cases, although it cannot be relieved, it can prevent colds. Treatment should be symptomatic based on the condition. Generally, emphysema is difficult to relieve, but it can improve the current physical condition by practicing breathing exercises regularly and preventing colds, as well as boosting immunity. You can also consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
