Suggest treatment for mild bibasilar fibrosis
Patient: I have been diagnosed with Mild Bibasilar Fibrosis. I do not have trouble breathing as the information indicates is a symptom but I have a deep and continuous cough that sometimes produces phlem. I would like to know what can be done to get rid of the cough. Thank you Doctor: Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Mild Bibasilar fibrosis can be early sign of interstitial lung disease (ILD). It is also seen in smokers and patients with previous history of tuberculosis or pneumonia. So if you are smoker than you should quit smoking as soon as possible. For coughing, you should take antihistamine drugs. You should also start newer antibiotic drug - perfinodone. It is the only drug which is approved by US FDA for reversal of fibrosis. So consult pulmonologist and discuss about starting these drugs. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
