COPD, a condition that effects the bronchial passages, cannot be cured. In Chronic broncitis, the air passages become narrower due to the buildup of mucus. A milder version of this is acute chronic broncitis, which lasts for a shorter span of time. In the case of emphysema, the passages are, in essence, eroded by chemicals. This type is commonly caused by smoking but can also be obtained by people with severe asthmatic problems, as their bronchial tubes are already narrower, causing incresed complications. COPD is treated much like Asthma with rescue inhalers for symptoms that suddenly effect you. Just like asthma, you can take inhaled steroids, but you have to see a pulmonologist to determine the correct treatment of your particular symptoms.
