<s>[INST] Hi Dr. I wanted to ask you about my father s health. He is a patient of COPD. He easily catches infection. Would like to know what would be the ideal choice of antibiotics for him? Kindly suggest medication which can give him some relief from continuous cough also. His Profile: Age 60 years History: Hypertension, Diabetes (both in control with medication), He is on Aspirin 75 mg as well. he underwent an BPH operation 6 months back. He has cough throughout the year. [/INST] Hi,COPD is a chronic condition and recurrent attack is very common.Every time he might not require antibiotics.Give him some broncho-dilator medicine or inhaler if require.Quit smoking if he smokes.Ask him to go for Deep breathing exercises daily and regularly.Avoid fried, spicy and junk food.Avoid cold drinks.Ok and take care. </s>
