How Can Chronic Cough While Suffering From COPD Be Treated?
I have some symptoms of COPD. My Primary Care doc thought I may have allergy induced Bronchitis. I am coughing a lot, expressing sputum, shortness of breath, not sleeping well, and very frightened. I live in Arizona, have never smoked, and am getting tested for Valley Fever which is found in this area.

Hello,
For allergic bronchitis, the drugs are Levocetirizine and Montelukast. Also, take cough syrup containing Terbutaline drug.
As a matter of fact, the best therapy for COPD is oxygen inhalation which is to be given for 14 or 15 hours per day. A steam inhalation plus deep breathing exercises are also beneficial.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
