Management of chronic lung disease involves a combination of medical treatment, lifestyle modifications, and supportive care. Common management strategies include:
Medications: Bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and other drugs to relieve symptoms and improve lung function. Pulmonary Rehabilitation: Exercise training, nutritional counseling, and education to improve overall health and quality of life. Oxygen Therapy: Providing supplemental oxygen to patients with severe respiratory insufficiency. Lifestyle Changes: Encouraging regular physical activity, healthy diet, and smoking cessation. Regular Monitoring: Routine check-ups and lung function tests to track disease progression.
