Requesting suggestions for further treat

Hello Sir/Ma'am, My grandmother has fallen sick due to Pneumothorax, and is having a problem in breathing. A local doctor got her X-Rays, and Blood Tests done and has advised to add a chest-tube to evacuate the trapped air. Do we need to get this done, or this can be cured via medicines?
