I would have to defer to Pulmonary Fibrosis expert such as Dr. She's at Massachusetts General Hospital. Corticosteroids rarely work. There are numerous ' variants'.
Pulmonary fibrosis treatment aims to ease symptoms and improve quality of life. Options include antifibrotic medications to slow scarring, oxygen therapy for low blood oxygen, and pulmonary rehab to support breathing. Lifestyle changes, like avoiding pollutants, are also key. In some cases, a lung transplant may be considered.
