Misconceptions about the treatment of stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

1, slow obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic disease, usually the symptoms are not serious, do not need frequent treatment, only until the emergence of acute symptoms such as fever, shortness of breath, thick sputum to go to the doctor with drugs. 2.If I feel that the symptoms disappear, I will interrupt the treatment on my own, thinking that it is fine as long as there is no attack. 3.Think that the existing treatment measures are ineffective, and try every possible way to find the panacea, but seek a cure. The above 3 views are all wrong. As a matter of fact, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is characterized by persistent airflow limitation and progressive development, and requires planned comprehensive long-term treatment to slow down the deterioration and reduce acute exacerbation, just as hypertension requires long-term application of antihypertensive drugs according to the condition. Waiting until the condition worsens to receive treatment increases the pain, costs and even life threatening.
