Question

What are the treatment methods for interstitial lung disease, particularly for patients experiencing high fever, asthma, and limited mobility?

Answer

The treatment of interstitial lung disease typically includes rest, keeping warm, dietary adjustments, and possibly the use of physical cooling or antipyretic medications. If patients exhibit shortness of breath and hypoxia, oxygen may be administered, along with cough suppressants. In some cases, antibiotics may be used, but their effectiveness is limited. There is currently no definitive treatment method, and the condition may progressively worsen, ultimately leading to respiratory failure and heart failure. Traditional Chinese medicine has shown some effectiveness in treating interstitial lung disease, and it can help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. It is recommended to undergo long-term treatment under the guidance of an experienced doctor after diagnosis.
