How is Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis Treated?
.
If a particular antigen exposure can be detected, avoiding or eliminating it from the environment is a significant aspect of HP therapy. Immunosuppressive drugs are sometimes used to attempt to stop lung damage and reverse inflammation if it exists. Patients with progressive fibrosis (worsening scarring) may be prescribed an anti-fibrotic drug by their pulmonologist to slow the scarring process.
.
Supplemental oxygen, pulmonary rehabilitation, and symptom management are essential therapy choices for many kinds of pulmonary fibrosis, depending on the severity of the condition. Some people may be eligible for lung transplantation. Living with pulmonary fibrosis requires quitting smoking and receiving regular immunisations. Additional studies are being conducted worldwide to find the best treatment of this interstitial lung disease. 🌿
