Female, age 70, has the third severe bronchitis like symptom in a year, each lasting more than 3 weeks. albuterol inhaler causes more cough. cause?

COPD?: She may have copd. Cxr and pfts are very useful. Most patients need anti inflammatory medications such as inhaled steroids. Spiriva is often quite useful also. Albuterol dilates the airways but does not treat the underlying inflammation. Have her checked by a lung doc.
