<unk><unk> s can be partially prevented. Some infections can be prevented by vaccination against pathogens such as influenza and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Regular medication use can prevent some COPD<unk> s; long acting beta-adrenoceptor agonists (LABAs), long-acting anticholinergics, inhaled corticosteroids and low-dose theophylline have all been shown to reduce the frequency of COPD<unk> s. Other methods of prevention include: * Smoking cessation and avoiding dust, passive smoking, and other inhaled irritants * Yearly influenza and 5-year pneumococcal vaccinations * Regular exercise, appropriate rest, and healthy nutrition * Avoiding people currently infected with e.g. cold and influenza * Maintaining good fluid intake and humidifying the home, in order to help reduce the formation of thick sputum and chest congestion.
