Pneumothorax treatment with medication

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 bullae be treated with medication?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the so-called bullae are caused by external factors or other factors leading to an increase in internal pressure, resulting in the rupture of alveoli. For mild cases, special treatment is generally not required, while severe cases may need surgical intervention. It is important to pay attention to rest and maintain dietary hygiene, exercise regularly, and base your diet on light, soft, and easily digestible foods. Regular follow-up examinations should also be conducted.
