How to diagnose Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I have lost a lot of weight and have been experiencing poor appetite. At the same time, I also have a cough with occasional phlegm. Even slight physical activity makes it difficult for me to breathe. The doctor at the pet hospital said it might be idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and recommended that I get checked at a larger hospital. How is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis diagnosed?

Doctor's answer:

Mycoplasma pneumonia is caused by Mycoplasma infection, leading to lung inflammation that can easily cause a cough and a decrease in body temperature. Bronchopneumonia occurs when bacteria reappear in the lungs, often resulting in a decrease in body temperature and the symptoms of cough and phlegm. Oral anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken for treatment, and it is also important to pay attention to preventing colds.
