Treatment...: COPD treatment includes smoking cessation since, if you continue to smoke, the disease will progress faster. Bronchodilator and steroid inhalers are typically prescribed to alleviate symptoms. If your oxygen level is low enough, supplemental oxygen is prescribed and this will also decrease disease progression. See a lung doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
