Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Can free treatment for silicosis improve the condition?Doctor's answer:
Never, there are no cases of complete resolution of silicosis in current clinical diagnosis. Silicosis is a relatively common type of pneumoconiosis, a disease caused by long-term inhalation of silica dust. Its pathological changes involve widespread nodular fibrosis of lung tissue, reduced lung compliance, meaning limited expansion and contraction, which can lead to symptoms such as chest tightness and coughing. This is an irreversible change, and there is currently no method for complete resolution. The severity is proportional to the degree of pulmonary fibrosis, requiring combined imaging examinations to assess.
