Mild emphysema is a chronic disease with irreversible airflow limitation, which cannot be self-healed or cured. Symptomatic medication can be administered to alleviate the symptoms and prevent further progression of the disease.
1. If the patient has shortness of breath, wheezing and other symptoms, bronchodilators such as salbutamol can be taken to relieve the symptoms of shortness of breath and wheezing. When the patient has severe wheezing during acute exacerbation, a large amount of nebulized inhalation treatment should be given, and the drugs used for nebulization include salbutamol aerosol.
2. If the patient coughs up sputum and the sputum is not easy to cough up, expectorants such as Ambroxol hydrochloride can be taken to dilute the sputum.
3. If patients in acute exacerbation have worsened dyspnea, cough with increased sputum and purulent sputum, antibiotic drugs such as levofloxacin can be taken.
Patients with mild emphysema should take proper rest, pay attention to warmth, drink more water, strictly prohibit smoking, and eat a light diet. Salbutamol, Ambroxol Hydrochloride, Levofloxacin are prescription medicines, and it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions.
