Treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

To prevent the occurrence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, you need to pay attention to effective treatment, quit smoking, exercise correctly, and do some rehabilitation training. At the same time, you also need to adjust your psychology, eat scientifically, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

1. Treatment during stable period

Non-drug treatments are available: smoking cessation, exercise or pulmonary rehabilitation training, and influenza and pneumonia vaccinations.

2. Rehabilitation

For example, physical therapy and high-pressure negative ion oxygen therapy are beneficial to the recovery of lung function in COPD patients.

3. Psychological adjustment

A good mood will help patients face the disease positively, increase treatment compliance, and establish good interpersonal relationships, which will be more conducive to recovery from the disease.

4. Diet adjustment

Eat more fruits and vegetables, you can eat meat, fish, eggs, milk, beans, and buckwheat. Talk less while eating, breathe harder and eat slower. Fat people should lose weight, and thin people should improve their nutrition and eat small meals frequently.

5. Long-term home oxygen therapy

If there is respiratory failure, long-term low-flow oxygen inhalation is recommended, more than 15 hours a day.

6. Medication

Existing drug treatments can reduce or eliminate patients' symptoms, increase activity tolerance, reduce the number and severity of acute attacks, and improve health status. Inhalation therapy is the first choice. Educating patients on the correct use of various inhalers and explaining the purpose and effects of treatment to patients will help them adhere to treatment.
