4. Make some adjustments to the diet, eat more high-protein diets, avoid spicy, greasy, fried foods, and encourage patients to drink more water appropriately.

5. For patients with chronic bronchitis, we also recommend some breathing muscle exercises, encourage patients to do deep breathing or abdominal breathing, lip-respiratory breathing, to improve the patient's lung function.

6. Patients with chronic bronchitis will have symptoms of hypoxia. For this reason, oxygen inhalation is the best treatment in the clinic. The patients with chronic bronchitis inhale oxygen, which must be kept at low flow. If the oxygen flow is too high, the nervous system may occur; If too low, it won’t improve the symptoms. Since chronic bronchitis is a chronic disease, the course of the disease is longer and the patient's clinical symptoms are more obvious. If breathing is difficult, you should

continue to inhale oxygen without interruption.
