Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] Two years ago I was stricken with Sarcoidosis which has effected my eye sight and lungs. I had my left lens removed because of an infection that is finally clearing. The right eye is being treated for the same infection. I have bronchial problems. I have a touch of COPD now. I do not want to take any heavy drugs for the bronchitis. My thinking may be wrong but the first thing I am usually given is a strong antibiotic. I would like my body to try to help heal itself. It seems that my life has turned upside down and I am depressed also.
[|AI|]  Thanks gory our question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist first and get done Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. Treatment of bronchitis is not antibiotics only. Inhaled therapy is must. Meter does inhaler containing long acting beta 2 agonist and corticosteroids are needed. Oral steroids are also helpful especially bronchitis associated with acidosis. Antihistamines and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
