False. The first remedy of the ages may be just a partial prescription with no scientific basis, its effectiveness in treating emphysema is unknown, and it cannot be used as a primary treatment for emphysema. The treatment of emphysema includes general treatment, drug treatment, and surgery.
1. General treatment: It includes reasonable diet, healthy rest, proper exercise, keeping warm, drinking plenty of water, quitting smoking and drinking, avoiding inhalation of dust and irritating gases, and closely monitoring the patient’s physical condition.
2. Drug treatment: those who have symptoms or reduced lung function can use bronchodilators, commonly used aminophylline, β2-adrenergic agonists, such as salbutamol, anticholinergics, such as ipratropium bromide; glucocorticosteroids, commonly used budesonide, prednisone and so on.
3. Surgical treatment: if the effect of conventional treatment is not good, surgical treatment can be considered, including herpetic resection of huge lung pustules, lung transplantation and so on.
Emphysema is a kind of disease in which the distal air cavities of terminal fine bronchioles of the lungs show abnormal and long-lasting dilatation, accompanied by the destruction of alveoli and fine bronchioles. The most scientific and effective treatment is to go to regular hospitals in time to receive professional treatment, do not blindly use prescriptions, so as not to delay the condition.
