Patient's question:
I was carefully diagnosed with emphysema and have been coughing all the time. What are the symptoms and treatments for emphysema? Is it easy to relieve?Doctor's answer:
Generally, emphysema is primarily caused by chronic bronchitis that persists for many years without healing. Over time, it can gradually develop into chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is commonly referred to as emphysema. The main symptoms of emphysema are cough, shortness of breath, and phlegm. It can easily lead to difficulty breathing in the body and symptoms such as choking on water. Therefore, it is recommended to actively follow up with a physician for internal medicine and take medication according to symptoms. It is also important to engage in regular physical exercise to strengthen the body.
