How is pulmonary fibrosis treated?

Patient's question:

I would like to inquire about the treatment for poor mental state, physical fatigue, and pulmonary fibrosis.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you described: There is no effective treatment for pulmonary fibrosis. If it is mild, corticosteroids can be used. If it is severe, a respirator can be used to alleviate symptoms of respiratory distress and consider whether a lung transplant is possible. There are no other good methods. Generally, it will affect life expectancy due to breathing difficulties. Currently, corticosteroids can be used to see the effect.
