I am 59 year old male. I am suffering from chronic bronchitis for last 10 years. I quit smoking also 10 year back. Now I hardly walk 100 mtr. I have heard about that injections are available which can cure this disease in just one sitting. Is this true.or please tell me some other alternative so tgat I can live my life smoothly.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Chronic bronchitis is progressive, incurable disease. We can only halt the progression, but we can not cure it completely. Till date no such injection is available. So don't follow this kind of rumors. Inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) are cornerstone of treatment. You should also enroll yourself in Pulmonary Rehabilitation center where chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercises are done. These will improve your lung function and reduce symptoms. Get done adult Pulmonary vaccination with pneumococcal and Influenza vaccines to prevent recurrent respiratory tract infection. Low dose oxygen therapy (LOT) is also beneficial. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these therapeutic options. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
