I'm really worried about ILD and whether it's curable or not. I've read online that people with ILD only live for about 3 to 5 years. Is that true? Is there anything specific I can do to help manage this disease? Id really appreciate any advice or remedies you can suggest.

View allI've just finished my tuberculosis treatment earlier this April after nine months on medication, but then I caught COVID at the end of the month. Since then, I haven't had any COVID symptoms, and an HRCT showed no lung infections. However, I'm struggling with a persistent dry cough and an itchy throat. There's also white mucus that shows up every morning but only a little bit. I've tried Alex syrup and some home remedies like ginger and honey, but nothing seems to be working. What could be causing this ongoing cough, and should I be worried?
take syrup ascoril and drink hot water

I've been dealing with some health issues after recovering from COVID-19. I tested negative back in November 2020, but I had pneumonia when I was positive. I've been under treatment for about a month with a reputed pulmonologist. My latest CT chest scan showed patchy ground glass haziness in the lower right lobe, and the CT severity score is 225. These days, I don't really have breathing problems or any major issues, but I feel a bit weak. Can you give me some advice on what I should do next or if there's anything I should be concerned about?

I've noticed nail clubbing in all my fingers and toes, but there's no pain, just big clubbed nails. I'm really concerned about it and would like to know how I can treat it. Could you please provide some advice or solutions for this?
Nail clubbing can be a sign of an underlying medical condition. In your case, since you do not have any pain, it is important to determine the root cause of the clubbing. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. If it is related to a heart or lung condition, addressing that condition may help improve the nail clubbing. In the meantime, maintaining good overall health and keeping your nails well-trimmed can help manage the symptoms.
