Suggest treatment for pulmonary fibrosis
Patient: My wife, Varsha Desai, age 58, 5' 2" height, 73 kg weight now, i.e. 10 kg less than normal, is having pulmonary fibrosis surfaced after 8 months of breathless trouble,, and also hypothyroidism for 12 years  and rheumatism after age 53, i.e. menopause. Her lung function 30% only. Is there any scope of lung lavage to cure such illness? Who is the best doctor in Mumbai. I am from Gujarat, Valsad. If needed, I can send scanned copies of reports and CT scan plates. Doctor: LUNG LAVAGE IS NOT INDICATED IN PULMONARY FIBROSIS AS HERE LUNGS ARE NOT FILLED WITH ANY MATERIAL. THEY ARE SHRINKING. SHE MAY NEED LONG TERM OXYGEN THERAPY AND CPAP. I CANNOT GIVE YOU ANY REFERENCE OF A PULMONOLOGIST AS I AM NOT FROM MUMBAI BUT YOU CAN GO TO ANY TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL, GOVT OR PRIVATE WHERE YOU CAN MEET A PULMONOLOGIST.
