Emphysema combined with pulmonary pustules can be treated with drugs to relieve symptoms, and should be treated surgically if necessary.
1. Drug treatment: patients accompanied by bacterial infection, resulting in acute attack of emphysema, can be treated with antibiotics such as cefixime, amoxicillin and other anti-infective treatments. If bronchospasm occurs, aminophylline and other treatments should be used. If the inflammation is more serious, dexamethasone can be used to strengthen anti-infection treatment. The patient must strictly follow the doctor’s instructions for the use of drugs.
2. Surgery: If there are repeated infections, or if the lung blisters are large in size and compress the neighboring lung tissues, or if the lung blisters rupture and cause hemopneumothorax or spontaneous pneumothorax, surgery can be done. Generally, you can choose pleural fixation surgery, thoracoscopic lung wedge resection surgery and so on.
