Patient's question:
Can pulmonary fibrosis be cured or have a significant effect?Doctor's answer:
If you get pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, this disease cannot be cured, only the symptoms can be relieved. For patients with more severe conditions, progressive difficulty in breathing may recur. Especially for patients with immune system diseases, the condition of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis may recur. The most severe symptoms are seen in patients with dermatomyositis, where hormone treatment is necessary. If pulmonary interstitial fibrosis occurs without any known cause, there is no specific treatment. Acetylcysteine tablets can be taken orally to address it, but the efficacy is uncertain.
