Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. What should I do about emphysema?Doctor's answer:
Emphysema is generally caused by obstructive emphysema resulting from respiratory infections. It is recommended that patients visit a Class III-A hospital in their local area for thorough examination to clarify the condition and receive symptomatic treatment. Patients should not be overly anxious. They should pay attention to keeping their bodies warm and avoid getting colds as much as possible. If you haven’t paid attention, you should eat more light and nutritious foods and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Active cooperation with the doctor’s treatment can lead to self-recovery.
