Q: My father is 45 years old he is suffering from breathing problem as we consulted the doctor they said that left lung has been compressed by intestine and also right lung had been contracted itself and they ask us to do exercise and they give medicines to expand the right lung and thereafter we can do the surgery to expand the left lung my question is, Is it is good to do surgery after the right lung expansion and is it is possible to expand the Right lung through medicines?

No medicine to expand the lung.surgery depends on fitness of your father to withstand surgery and any lung disease he is suffering from.
