The treatments for emphysema and pulmonary bullae are different. Emphysema can be treated with medications such as salmeterol, albuterol, budesonide, and ambroxol hydrochloride, and hospitalization may be necessary in some cases. Currently, there are no specific effective drugs available for treating pulmonary bullae; surgery is the primary treatment option. However, if no obvious symptoms are present, treatment may be deferred temporarily. It is recommended to seek medical attention at a hospital as soon as possible, where doctors can provide targeted treatment based on the individual patient's condition.
