Hello
Thanks for your query
COPD is never a curable disease. With appropriate treatment the rate of progression of the disease is reduced and the treatment consists of appropriate inhalers combination in appropriate dosage, pulmonary vaccination and rehabilation, oxygen when necessary, assessment for associated co-morbidities and timely and effective intervention. Be in touch with a good pulmonologist because only he can understand your disease better than anyone else.
Thank you.
