My husband has acute bronchitis and emphysema. What is the right medicines he can take to get rid of these?

His doctor has given him Albuterol Inhilation for 4 years and now with Spiriva handihaler. The first 15 days he took this 2nd prescription (sample) every morning, he slept nicely at bed time. When we started buying it from the pharmacy there is no effect to him. He has to inhale more often this Albuterol instead of using this for emergency.My husband has acute bronchitis and emphysema.

Make sure you talk to your doctor and explain what is going on.. Only a doctor can make the call on what is needed... but you might want to ask if your husband would benefit from using prednisone and Flovent... Flovent is also a inhaler that you use with the Albuteral and prednisone really helped my husband and I when we had breathing problems... you really need to get the doctor to get him on the right meds and dosage... If you don't think you are getting the correct treatment.. see a different doctor.. it never hurts for a second opinion... :)My husband has acute bronchitis and emphysema.

There is no cure for bronchitis or emphysema.But ask your doctor about something for allergiess.I stopped smoking after 33 years ,praise God i can now breath.But the allergie medicine really helped me.Keep dust away from him,smoke,all irritants.Good luck
Depending on what caused the onset, they may be with him for the rest of his life. Especially if it is from smoking.


I know from experience that bronchitis can appear in people with general alergies than don't treat those alergies.


I now use flonase and not only are my sinuses clear, but I don't get bronchitis.


His lungs may have an embolism...


I read once of a child getting emphysema, acutely as your husband has, but this child actually had a small seed embedded in his lungs that were at first undetected by x-rays. When his mother insisted, the doctors operated and found the seed. The boy recovered and no longer has emphysema.
everyone here is correct in saying it is incurable. no one has said anything about the diet, though. sugar and dairy products should be cut out completely or kept to a minimum.


albuterol has steroids in it - they only work for 2 weeks on me, too. with some people it's normal. and because it IS a steroid, it can become addictive. (that's not good - addictive AND only works for a couple of weeks)


have you had your air tested for molds or pollens he might be allergic to? get your air ducts in your house tested and cleaned and have his office tested, too. if there are molds, he might not be the only one affected at work. (and work might be liable for doc bills that i'm sure are sky high by now - 5 years of this)
You can not ';get rid of'; either of these. I would suggest that you notify your Doctor that the Spiriva handihaler is not working. If you have not seen one yet, I would suggest that you ask for a referral to a pulmonologist (specialist who deals with the lungs and disease of the lungs). He/she may be able to give your husband a better treatment plan. I wish you both the best.
get in the Dolorian. set it to a time when u didn't smoke. keep doing that the rest of your life. that will take care of it. glad to be of assistance. any time.
you can't ';get rid'; of these you can only make them more confortable.... follow your doc's advice.....if something isnt working TELL YOUR DOC!!!!!
drugs are toxic unsafe and will kill you.





what you need is safe and natural called glyconutrients.
The albuterol inhaler should help with the inflammation in his lungs. There is no medicine he can take to get rid of emphysema. Once you have it, you have it. However, stopping smoking now will greatly reduce or cease the progression of it so that it doesn't get worse. Also with continued smoking, acute bronchitis will progress to chronic bronchitis, a condition that will not go away with medication.





Check with the doctor if the additional medication continues to have little effect. There should be no reason that the Rx would work differently when purchased at the pharmacy.
