After mild emphysema develops, bronchodilators and medications that reduce bronchial inflammation can be used under a doctor's guidance to alleviate symptoms. At the same time, it is important to actively quit smoking and maintain a light diet in daily life. Practicing pursed-lip breathing exercises can also help improve respiratory function and is generally beneficial for relieving mild emphysema.
