Here is a group of medication to treat it get medication from the doctor, it cannot be cured but well new research studies are proving it wrong one of my family members is a lab specialist working with cancer cells and stuff similar to this and they're on their way to finding or maybe even getting rid of it forever but not for a couple years from now. * brednodilators to open your airways. The two main classes of bronchodilators are beta-agonists (which relax the muscles surrounding the airways) and anticholinergics (which block the chemical our bodies use to contract the airways). The combination of these two classes of drugs may be more effective than either of them used alone. * Corticosteroids are used to reduce inflammation, swelling and phlegm production. There also are a minority of people who respond to oral or inhaled corticosteroids. Your doctor may start a short trial to determine if you will respond to corticosteroids. A typical trial lasts two to three weeks. * Expectorants are used to stop the cough that often accompanies chronic bronchitis. They also help make the phlegm more liquid and easier to get out of the lungs. The use of expectorants is controversial. * Antibiotics are not usually used to treat the disease itself. However, since the thick phlegm that is usually seen with chronic bronchitis is a good breeding ground for bacteria, people with this disease are more likely to get lung infections that would require antibiotics. = Self-Care And Alternative Treatments = Treatments that you can try yourself include: * Taking a hot shower or bath, draping a towel over your head and breathing the steam from a bowl of hot water, or running a humidifier in the bedroom during sleep. These can provide moisture that airways need to stay clear. * Drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water helps keep the secretions in the lungs liquid. Drinking hot liquids such as teas can also help remove phlegm from the lungs. Cold liquids tend to irritate the airways because of proximity of the esophagus to the trachea in the neck and upper chest. * Respiratory therapists sometimes have their patients blow into a device with an adjustable valve that exercises the lungs in the same way as blowing up balloons. * Some practitioners believe that red peppers, curry, and other spicy foods that make the eyes water or nose run can help to thin mucus secretions but this is very controversial. = Oxygen = As the disease progresses, it may become necessary to rely on supplemental oxygen supplied through portable or stationary tanks. However, simple bronchitis, i.e., bronchitis without emphysema, will rarely require chronic oxygen therapy. * Some people may need continuous oxygen throughout the entire day. * Others may only need supplemental oxygen at certain times, such as when exercising or during sleep.
