  5. I'm really worried about my loved one who's dealing with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and now also has acute congestive heart failure. His wheezing cough seems to be getting worse and he can't get any sleep because of it. Right now, he's using Combimist L respules with a nebulizer, but his LVEF percentage is down to 10. I'm really anxious to know if there are any medications or treatments that could help control his wheezing cough better. What would you suggest?

To help control his wheezing cough, I recommend adding a long-acting bronchodilator such as Formoterol (brand name: Foracort) to his treatment regimen. The recommended dosage would be 1-2 inhalations twice daily. Additionally, a corticosteroid inhaler like Fluticasone (brand name: Flohale) can be added to reduce airway inflammation. The usual dosage would be 2 inhalations twice daily. These medications can help improve his symptoms and quality of life.
