Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
I recommend performing physiotherapy and avoiding smoking contacts. Inhalation steroids or beta-stimulants can help improve your situation.
But, unfortunately there is not too much to be done in this clinical situation.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
