How to get rid of chronic bronchitis forever. How can you get rid of chronic bronchitis forever?

Bronchitis is an inflammatory disease of the bronchi. With this disease, their mucous membrane is most often affected, but deeper layers can also be affected.

The cause of bronchitis can be one of the following factors (sometimes a combination of them):

1. Viral or bacterial infection(flu, measles, whooping cough, etc.)
2. Impact toxic substances: emissions into the atmosphere of production waste, exhaust gases, chemical warfare agents, dust, especially present at the workplace of a person - cotton, flour, coal, cement, etc. If the disease is caused by toxic substances, then it proceeds with the most severe symptoms (this may be coughing, up to spotting and shortness of breath, up to suffocation).
3. Smoking is a trigger for the development of this disease after any, even the mildest, infectious disease. It also has a negative effect on the bronchi. "second hand smoke" in a family of smoking parents, children are more likely to get this disease, and the symptoms are more severe. Moreover, in such children, the risk of developing bronchial asthma and pneumonia is much higher.

Bronchitis is of the following types:

• Acute bronchitis- it's sharp inflammatory process bronchial mucosa. In an acute course, the mucous membranes swell, their blood vessels dilate, and sputum appears on the surface of the bronchi.
• Chronical bronchitis is a progressive inflammation of the bronchi. Often the main and only visible symptom is a cough. Not only the mucous membrane is affected, but also all the elements of the bronchus; over time, lung tissue is also involved in the inflammatory process.

Sometimes the chronic form becomes a consequence of the acute one, if the treatment of the latter has not been completed. Especially often the acute form becomes chronic in young children and the elderly.

Most often the reason chronic bronchitis is smoking - in 80% of cases, including "passive smoking", 2-3 times a year or more the disease worsens and gives acute symptoms.

There is also the concept of obstructive bronchitis- this is a disease in which the respiratory function is limited, due to a violation of the patency of the bronchi ("obstruction" in translation - an obstacle). Obstruction accompanies to some extent any bronchitis.

The patency of the bronchi for air circulation can be impaired, both due to swelling of the mucous membrane and sputum secretion into the lumen of the bronchi (in acute form), and due to their deformation and blockage (in chronic form). Obstruction can also be caused by bronchospasm. Especially dangerous is chronic obstructive bronchitis, which inevitably leads to long-term smoking, it eventually causes irreversible changes in the bronchi.

Acute and chronic forms of bronchitis are different in symptoms.

Acute symptoms.

1. Cough is the main symptom. At first, the cough is dry, then purulent sputum begins to separate.
2. General weakness, chills.
3. Raise temperature body - this symptom may not always be present.
4. Qatar top respiratory tract- this often precedes the symptoms of acute bronchitis, i.e., the inflammation goes down - from the throat to the bronchi.
5. Feeling of spasm in the throat difficulty breathing, wheezing- these symptoms are also not always present, characteristic of acute obstructive bronchitis.
6. Duration - 5-14 days

Symptoms of chronic bronchitis
With exacerbations, the same symptoms occur as with the acute form of the disease. If the disease progresses (and usually it progresses rather slowly), then it gives the following symptoms:

1. Persistent cough At first, the cough occurs only in the morning. To restore air circulation after a night's sleep, the patient needs to cough up sputum. "Smoker's morning cough" is the first symptom in adult smokers. Over time (sometimes it takes 10 years), the morning cough becomes permanent.
2. Shortness of breath, increased heart rate, cyanosis of the lips- all this occurs as a result of changes in the structure of the bronchi and violations of the functions of the respiratory and circulatory organs. Shortness of breath first occurs with significant and prolonged physical exertion, over time it occurs even with small efforts.
3. This disease lasts for months, years, with exacerbations occurring several times a year.

Symptoms of obstructive bronchitis

1. elongated, whistling exhalation, dry wheezing.
2. Can be fluctuations in cough intensity, body temperature.
3. Dyspnea due to decreased bronchial patency.
4. Paleness, tachycardia- these symptoms may not always be present
5. Involved in the act of breathing accessory muscles

Sometimes similar symptoms are accompanied by diseases such as tuberculosis, lung cancer. To rule out these diseases, do fluorography of the lungs.

Complications

Complication acute form can be sinusitis, otitis media. The most common complication is pneumonia.

Acute obstructive form with frequent repetition, it can lead to the development of bronchial asthma, especially in children.

Complication chronic bronchitis- thinning of the walls of the bronchi, the appearance of emphysema, bronchial asthma.

Bronchitis treatment aimed at treating the underlying disease, increasing the body's resistance, restoring bronchial patency, and eliminating inflammation in the bronchi. In the chronic form, physiotherapy and spa treatment are used in the treatment.

In the treatment of acute disease it is very important to complete the full course of treatment so that the acute does not become chronic.

Treatment of chronic bronchitis should start at early stages until changes in the structure of the bronchi have become irreversible. Treatment is carried out for a long time, and does not stop, both during exacerbation and during the disappearance of the symptoms of the disease.

Treatment of bronchitis with lemon, honey and glycerin - the best remedy for bronchitis

This recipe is easy to execute: the ingredients can be found without problems, the preparation is prepared quickly, but at the same time its effectiveness has been proven in practice. How can you prepare this remedy:

To boil water.

You should take a medium-sized lemon, rinse it thoroughly in water (you can use a brush).

Make several punctures on the fruit (in different places).

The lemon is placed in a pot of water brought to a boil.

Boil the lemon for five minutes, after which the fruit is removed and left to cool.

The next step is to squeeze the juice from the half boiled lemon. This can be done manually, and a household juicer (or a citrus juicer) is also suitable for this purpose.

The resulting juice must be drained into a faceted glass (or other container with a total volume of approximately 250 ml).

Add glycerin to the juice (about 2 tbsp. / L.). Based on the volume, this is about 25 ml.

The resulting composition is thoroughly mixed. After that, you need to add honey to fill the remaining volume of the container (honey should be liquid, settled, candied honey is also suitable, but in this case it will have to be heated so that it acquires the necessary consistency).

The almost finished product should be mixed again.

Send the container with the drug to a cool place. There, the mixture should be infused for several hours (from 120 to 240 minutes).

How to apply?

The remedy is recommended to be taken on an empty stomach, half an hour before a meal. However, you can use the drug after a meal, but in this case, at least two hours should pass from the moment of eating. The number of doses per day depends on the severity of the ongoing pathological process. If the patient is worried about a strong cough, it is recommended to take the drug in a tablespoon 4-7 times a day. In other cases, the recommended dosage is a tablespoon 2-3 rubles / day.

With a strong cough, if it is not possible to wait for the remedy to infuse, you can prepare it in another way. To do this, it is enough to pour boiling water over the lemon, and then grind it to a mushy state in a food processor or blender. Then mix lemon gruel with honey and glycerin.

This recipe has a beneficial effect on the patient's body in three directions at once:

Helps to increase the body's resistance (vitamin C stimulates the immune system).

Relieves cough (glycerin helps to soothe and moisten an irritated throat).

Helps in the fight against the causative agent of infection (honey is a natural antibacterial agent).

Contraindications: it is recommended to exercise caution to persons suffering from gastrointestinal diseases: such a composition can aggravate the course of the disease or cause an exacerbation. It is unacceptable to take this folk remedy for those who are allergic to any of the ingredients.

Treatment of bronchitis with black radish with honey

To prepare the remedy, you need to find a small radish. Only black radish is used. The fruit must be thoroughly washed (preferably with a brush). Then, using a knife, remove the core from the radish (a deep circular incision is made). The fruit should take on a cup-shaped shape (a depression should form).

Add one spoonful of honey to the resulting recess (depending on the size of the radish, add a teaspoon or a tablespoon). Filling the hole to the brim is not recommended: during cooking, the resulting juice will overflow. Next, place the radish in a bowl: depending on the size of the fruit, an ordinary glass or a 0.5-liter jar will do.

The radish prepared in this way is left at room temperature for several hours. At this time, the cut out core with a “hat” can be returned to its place. After about 4-5 hours, the fruit will release the juice. It is even better if the fruit is "infused" during the night. The resulting juice is used as a medicine. The same fruit can be used for several days (the main thing is to periodically add honey).

On the place of application of the compress (back, chest), gauze is applied, folded several times (in size it should be 3-7 mm larger than the application area). First, gauze must be moistened in water and squeezed out. Then a cling film or cellophane is applied to the gauze (the size of the film should be 1-3 cm larger than the gauze).

The resulting product is laid out on top. The cake is chipped with a layer of cotton wool (you can use a thick cloth). Such a “construction” is tied to the body with a scarf. It is recommended to keep the compress for at least 6 hours (it is even better to leave the compress overnight). At the end of the procedure, the body in the area of ​​application of the compress is wiped with a dry towel.

The therapeutic effect is achieved after 3-5 repeated sessions. Mustard can irritate the skin, so it is important to monitor the condition of the skin.

Recipe 3. Take 1 tablespoon of dry mustard, flour, vodka, any interior fat, aloe juice, honey. There is no place to take fat - replace it with unrefined sunflower oil. Stir and heat in a water bath. Put gauze on the patient in the area of ​​the lungs, then ointment, then gauze again and a plastic film on top. Cover with something warm.

It is also good to bandage it with an elastic bandage so that the bandage does not budge. Leave the compress overnight. No need to be afraid that a burn will appear, the skin will only turn slightly pink. This bandage can also be done on the chest, but not where the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe heart is. This remedy helps to get rid of bronchitis very quickly. You need to do just a couple of such procedures and even the most chronic cough will pass.

Other folk remedies for bronchitis

Interior lard is a good folk remedy. It is necessary to mix lard, melted and filtered through a strainer, unsalted butter, honey (preferably buckwheat) and granulated sugar (100 g each). Boil over fire for five minutes. Although if honey is boiled, then it medicinal properties will drop a lot, so you can add honey later, when the mixture has cooled down a bit.

Delicious recipe for bronchitis. Mix half a liter of aloe juice with one kilogram of honey and half a liter of pork fat. Add chocolate and stir. The mass is consumed before meals. Keep refrigerated.

Running and hardening with bronchitis

In the treatment of chronic lung diseases, physical activity and increasing the adaptive capabilities of the body are of key importance. However, hardening must be done with caution and according to certain rules. In addition, ideally, hardening should be combined with running, since in combination these activities not only increase the protective capabilities of the body, but also train the weakened respiratory system.

One of the most popular and affordable methods of hardening is cold hardening. Cold procedures help to increase the adaptive capabilities of the body, thereby reducing the risk of developing colds. The most common practice is water quenching.

Dousing with water promotes training nervous system. As a result of exposure to cold water on the skin, a reflex is developed: there is an intensification of work thyroid gland and adrenal glands, adrenaline is released into the blood, body temperature temporarily rises, and heat generation increases. The blood supply to individual parts of the body and organs is enhanced. At one point, the body's defenses increase dramatically (as a result of stress).

The classic way of hardening is to gradually lower the temperature of the water (the maximum from which hardening begins is 23 degrees). However, this method was found to be insufficiently effective.

In modern practice, the following methods are used:

Wiping with a wet towel (lower temperature water can be used).

Taking a contrast shower.

Taking baths with cool water (the duration of such baths should not exceed one and a half minutes).

Pouring water.

Depending on the individual characteristics You can start the body with one or another type of cold procedures. Wiping with a towel is recognized as the most gentle. Hardening procedures are carried out daily 1-2 times a day.

When carrying out hardening procedures, a number of rules must be observed:

After cold procedures, it is forbidden to be in a cold room or in a draft.

During exacerbation of chronic diseases or colds, hardening is not practiced. This will aggravate the course of the disease.

In itself, hardening is just an element. Wellness procedures should be comprehensive. So, to combat bronchitis, in addition to hardening, you need to do running and breathing exercises.

Juices are used not only for the treatment of lung diseases, but also as a general health remedy.

Cabbage juice. It has a bitter taste. For improvement palatability you can add sugar. It is an excellent expectorant, in addition, it has a beneficial effect on the stomach.

Beet juice. Freshly squeezed beetroot juice is not recommended. It should be kept in the refrigerator for for 3-4 hours. Promotes rapid detoxification of the body, increases blood clotting. Has a diuretic effect.

Blueberry juice. Like cabbage, lingonberries have an expectorant effect. Thanks to lingonberry juice, sputum will not stagnate in the bronchi.

Carrot juice has a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect. Since you can’t drink a lot of beetroot juice (no more than half a glass), it is recommended to dilute it with freshly squeezed carrot juice.

Salt lamp and halotherapy for bronchitis

Halotherapy is a relatively new drug-free method of treating many diseases (including pathologies respiratory system). Its essence lies in the creation of an artificial microclimate that has a beneficial effect on the affected broncho-pulmonary structures (a strictly defined level of air humidity, its temperature, etc.) is established. By its nature, such treatment is close to speleotherapy, when the patient stays for a long time in a special microclimate of natural geological structures: caves, grottoes, etc.

At home, patients also have the opportunity to simulate the beneficial effects of salt caves and halotherapy rooms with the help of so-called salt lamps. Salt lamps are made from salt mined in caves. When heated, salt ions are released into the air, providing a therapeutic effect on the patient's body.

Unlike halotherapy, salt lamps, as was said, are only an imitation (or rather, an incomplete replacement). However, it has been proven that salt lamps have a therapeutic effect. The only problem is that with the help of a salt lamp it is impossible to fully influence everything microclimate factors: humidity, air temperature, etc.

The benefits of salt lamps

It has been repeatedly scientifically proven that the benefits of a salt lamp are not just another myth.

These simple devices have a lot of positive effects:

In a wide radius disinfect the air. The bactericidal action is especially important during infectious diseases.

Salt lamps help strengthen the immune system.

Lamps reduce the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation.

Help normalize sleep.

Promote relaxation.

In addition, practice has shown that such lamps help with a number of diseases:

Chronic obstructive bronchitis (also called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD, smoker's bronchitis).

Sinusitis.

Tonsillitis.

Bronchitis (acute and chronic).

Pharyngitis.

Tracheitis.

Bronchial asthma.

Rhinitis of allergic origin.

You can safely place salt lamps near electrical appliances (moreover, they reduce the harmful effects of technology on the body). Salt lamps also act as a natural air ionizer, which means that there will be no place for mold and fungus in the apartment.

The salt lamp has a whole host of advantages:

As mentioned, it acts as a natural ionizer, destroying pathogens.

The lamp reduces the adverse effects of electromagnetic radiation on human body. A person encounters such radiation every day when working with office and household appliances.

Regulates the level of humidity in the room.

In addition to practical value, a salt lamp has excellent aesthetic qualities and is used as an interior element.

The lamp helps to fight unpleasant odors.

How to choose a salt lamp?

When choosing a salt lamp, it is important to consider several points:

Room area. A positive effect will be achieved only if one lamp weighing 2-3 kg will "serve" a room no more than 15 square meters. m area. Otherwise, you need to purchase a larger lamp or install several lamps.

Characteristics of the crystal. The crystal should be even, without chips, cracks and other defects.

Stand. The stand must be of sufficient size. Otherwise, the lamp cannot be placed stably. There is a high risk that the lamp will fall and break.

Caring for a lamp is not difficult, but there are a number of simple rules:

Do not place the lamp near a window, aquarium, etc. This product does not tolerate moisture.

If the lamp gets wet, dry it by wiping it dry with a cloth or towel.

When moisture is absorbed, a whitish coating forms on the surface of the lamp. You can remove it with a file (carefully).

Special care of the lamp is not required, it is enough to change the lamp as needed.

Many people wonder how to cure chronic bronchitis forever? In order to understand whether this is possible, it is necessary to consult a specialist. He will indicate what are the causes of the disease and methods of restoring the body. In some cases it is enough 2-3 months for an absolute cure, while in certain situations it takes years.

To understand whether it is possible to achieve recovery, you should know the causes and symptoms of chronic bronchitis.

So, when for 3 months out of 12 for 2 years the patient is disturbed by a permanent cough, he is ill with chronic bronchitis.

Provoking factors affect the beginning of the release into the lumen of the bronchial type of a significant ratio of viscous sputum. Also, the problems that should be eliminated are that:

• the epithelium loses its ability to cope with the excretion of sputum;
• the mucous layer in the bronchial region ceases to regenerate;
• destabilized drainage has a positive effect on the addition of inflammation due to bacteria, provoking chronic bronchitis.

In the inflammatory focus, leukocytes begin to concentrate, which, at the stage of destruction, secrete specific enzymes. They increase damage to the mucosal surface. The epithelium dies, a sclerotic process is formed and the hardening of the bronchial region, small areas can become clogged. The nuances of treatment for this depend on the symptoms that occur.

Symptoms

The primary manifestation of bronchitis can be a cough - with or without sputum, in the morning or during the day. With age, the cough acquires full-fledged forms, the ratio of sputum increases, turning into purulent masses. As part of the fact that this extends to the small bronchial region, a sign of destabilization of the degree of their patency is formed. It's about about shortness of breath within physical activity and then at rest.

At each stage of the formation of chronic bronchitis, one may encounter the development of bronchospasms.

They manifest themselves in shortness of breath up to suffocation with problematic exhalation. Pathology may be accompanied by bouts of coughing and the excretion of a small amount of thick mucus. The patient may be disturbed by such manifestations as a holistic malaise, fatigue, an increase in temperature. All this is a symptomatic exacerbation, and therefore requires antibiotic therapy.

Antibiotic therapy

It can be assigned within the . But it is acceptable for the following symptoms:

• the presence of intoxication;
• increase in body temperature;
• expectoration of sputum of mucopurulent type in high proportions.

Pulmonologists may prescribe semi-synthetic aminepenicillins that have been potentiated by alpha-lactamase inhibitors. This is augmentin or amoxil, the use of macrolides (azithromycin, macropenes), cephalosporins (ceftriaxone, cefuroxime) and fluoroquinolones (lefoloxacin, cyprom, avelox) is also allowed.

Any of the presented antibiotics can be prescribed solely taking into account the results of sputum culture. However, it will not be possible to treat chronic bronchitis forever without the following group of medicinal components.

Expectorants and bronchodilators

The treatment process without expectorant drugs will not be complete. Apply 2 categories of funds: mucus baking powder and expectorants.

The first group is characterized by the fact that it affects the transformation of viscous mucus into liquid, while the latter optimize mucociliary clearance. The result is relief in the removal of sputum with a cough. ACC, lazolvan, flavamed and bromgesin are used.

In order to smooth out the most serious manifestations of chronic bronchitis, you can take bronchodilators.

They help to get rid of problems with bronchial patency due to the fact that they expand the lumen of the airways. Anti-inflammatory drugs of the glucocorticoid type reduce the ratio of sputum produced, as well as the degree of cell activity in the mucous-type coating.

Several categories of such drugs have been developed. They are characterized by their influence on various pathways of bronchodilation and eliminate negative processes, which helps to get rid of the pathology. These are the following effects:

• sustainable musculature smooth type in the bronchial region: aminophylline, theophylline and neophyllin;
• effects on cholinegic type receptors - for example, ipratopium bromide (Atrovet) or spirotopium bromide (Spiriva);
• substances that support adenergic receptors: salbutmol (ventolin) or fenterol (berotek);
• reduction of the inflammatory process and the production of bronchial mucus: flutikzone (flesotide);
• mixed preparations: berodual, symbicort, seretide.

Each of the presented means, except for aminophylline and similar ones, is produced as individual standardized mini inhalers. They are convenient in the context of chronic bronchitis, because a person can constantly use the drug, always taking it with him. The active component, which appears in the inflammatory area during inhalation, stops the manifestations of the disease that needs to be cured with a significant speed.

The benefits of inhalation

Together with individual inhalers, specific ultrasonic devices, or nebulizers, have been developed. The presented devices are good in that they can be used to grind liquid medications to a state in which they can penetrate into the smallest bronchioles simultaneously with inhaled oxygen. Such a competent and correct application of medical bases makes inhalations with the described disease main technique recovery.

This will help speed up the recovery process of the body and help get rid of the disease, leaving the body without serious consequences.

halotherapy

The last of the therapeutic methods is halotherapy. Sessions are carried out in a specially equipped halochamber. It also forms ideal microclimatic conditions for the patient. Such terms include:

• perfectly purified air with individual humidity ratios;
• optimal temperature indicators;
• air that is enriched with various aerosol substances. Their basis should be a salt component.

The presented method is simple and does not require any manipulations and medicinal substances. Pulmonologists recommend introducing it into the treatment of each chronic bronchitis in order to get rid of the pathology. Mild forms of the disease can be treated by 100%, and severe forms greatly facilitate the course and will require small dosages of drug components.

For this, a two-time recovery course, designed for 3-4 weeks during the year, will be enough. The number of daily sessions should not be limited. It is important, however, that small intervals of time be observed between them.

Preventive measures

Getting vaccinated against the flu every year helps to cure and reduce the chance of getting sick with the flu during the fall or winter. In this regard, it can be recommended for patients who have experienced chronic bronchitis. It will be an ideal preventive measure that everyone can resort to.

Getting vaccines against diseases that are provoked by pneumococci is also recommended for patients who are faced with a chronic form of bronchitis.

In order to treat this pathology, it is possible and necessary to combine various methods: from non-drug to the use of various drugs. This will help get rid of the disease and any of its complications.

Modern science defines bronchitis as a chronic or acute inflammatory disease of the bronchi, which is characterized by hypersecretion of sputum. The main symptoms of this disease: prolonged cough with expectoration of purulent-mucous sputum. In addition to coughing, bronchitis is accompanied by shortness of breath, suffocation. At acute bronchitis symptoms are more pronounced.

Almost every one of us faces a disease of the respiratory system called bronchitis at least once in a lifetime. Its main symptom is a severe cough, sometimes with shortness of breath and viscous sputum, as well as headache, general weakness, etc. But the worst thing is when a similar situation is repeated at intervals of several months, or even weeks. AT this case we can talk about a more serious form of the disease, that is, chronic bronchitis, which causes a lot of problems for a person and is difficult to treat. So, how do you recognize chronic form disease, and how to get rid of it forever?

As mentioned above, a key symptom of any bronchitis is a cough, and in a neglected form it lasts about three months a year for two years in a row.

However, even in the presence of a prolonged cough, it is not worth making such a diagnosis on your own, because for the development of the disease, appropriate conditions and factors are needed:

The essence of chronic bronchitis is that the above factors (one or more) have a negative effect on the bronchi and their mucous membrane. An abnormal amount of sputum begins to be released in it, which does not have time to be brought out, which creates an excellent environment for the reproduction of bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms.

On examination, the doctor may note too long expiration, whistling and moist rales in the lungs. For a more accurate diagnosis, a number of studies are carried out, including x-rays, bronchoscopy, as well as tests to rule out tuberculosis, emphysema, neoplasms and other diseases.

Why is the disease dangerous?

Initially, a patient with chronic bronchitis is concerned only with a cough, dry or wet, which can appear at any time of the day. Over time, it intensifies, sputum appears yellow color odorless, then its volume increases, the release of purulent masses begins. There is a violation of the patency of the bronchi, a person feels severe shortness of breath, first after physical exertion, and then at rest. At the same time, chronic fatigue, a feeling of weakness, and a decrease in efficiency appear.

This form of the disease is called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, since not only the bronchi, but also the lungs suffer from a lack of oxygen. The body begins to experience hypoxia, which leads to the development of a variety of disorders and pathologies, and in the end can cause death.

Can chronic bronchitis be cured permanently?

This question worries all patients who had to deal with a similar phenomenon. The answer to it depends on the spread of the pathological process, the stage and phase of the disease, but it is quite possible to get rid of chronic bronchitis in a mild degree once and for all. This requires timely access to a specialist, accurate diagnosis and adequate therapy.

traditional medicine

Most often, medications for the chronic course of bronchitis are used in the exacerbation phase, but during periods of remission, doctors often prescribe drugs that alleviate the patient's condition and support the body.

Antibiotics

Antibiotic treatment is carried out in acute periods, when an active inflammatory process caused by pathogenic microorganisms takes place in the patient's bronchi. The appointment of a specific drug is carried out after clarifying the causative agent of the disease and conducting the necessary tests.

Expectorants and bronchodilators

In addition to the destruction of infectious agents, with an exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, it is necessary to restore the main function of the bronchi, eliminate their narrowing and reduce the amount of mucus produced. For this, bronchodilators and mucolytics are used, which turn viscous mucus into liquid, so that it is well excreted with a cough, and expand the lumen of the bronchi, making it easier for the patient to breathe.

It is important to note that the effectiveness of mucolytic and expectorant drugs is significantly increased when taking a large amount of drink (especially alkaline).

Bronchodilators

Good action in chronic bronchitis means called bronchodilators (bronchodilators). They must be used after the first signs of obstruction appear, i.e. shortness of breath, difficult exhalation, etc. These drugs include Eufillin», « Atrovent», « Berodual», « Salbutamol, « neophyllin», « Fluticasone". They expand the lumen of the respiratory tract and eliminate the negative processes associated with the disease. The best option the use of such drugs - inhalation using a nebulizer or inhaler, as they relieve bronchial spasm as quickly and efficiently as possible.

One of the most modern methods of combating chronic bronchitis is halotherapy. The procedures are carried out in specially equipped chambers, where optimal conditions for humidity and temperature are created, and the air is thoroughly cleaned and saturated with saline solutions. With the help of halotherapy, patients can completely get rid of mild forms of the disease, and with a complex course, significant relief is achieved, so that a person can do without drugs for a long time.

Folk remedies
