Patient's question:
A colleague from my workplace recently experienced severe poisoning and was treated at the hospital. Two days later, it was discovered that they had developed pulmonary fibrosis. I'd like to understand how long people with recurring pulmonary fibrosis can live?Doctor's answer:
Pulmonary mild fibrosis caused by poisoning generally lasts for about one to three months. Since the poison has entered the human bloodstream, the initial manifestation is usually mild pulmonary fibrosis, which will never cause significant harm to the body. As the medication takes effect, the degree of pulmonary fibrosis will gradually subside, affecting the risk to life. Therefore, if pulmonary fibrosis occurs, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
