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 allWhat can you make of my mom's recent X-ray? She's 60, and after testing positive for COVID antibodies 18 days after her first symptoms, the new X-ray shows some prominent bronchovascular markings with a patchy non-homogeneous opacity in the left lower zone. It also mentions something about a bulky right hilum with calcified lymph nodes. Should I be worried about these findings?

I was just diagnosed with asthma, and I'm a bit worried. Is this something that could be temporary? I'm the only one in my family with it, and I never smoke. I used to do a lot of exercise outside in the cold mornings before, could that be why I'm experiencing this?
Asthma is a chronic airway disease. Yes ,in winter season the asthma gets aggrevated.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having these breathing issues for around two weeks now, and he's coughing up some whitish stuff, but he hasn't traveled anywhere recently. We did an X-ray and it seems like his heart might be a bit enlarged. Could this be what's causing his breathing trouble? Our city's in lockdown and I can't get him to see a doctor in person. No doctors seem available in our government hospitals too, so it's a real struggle. He's currently on Levo Mac 500, Dezacor 6, and Montegesic LC. What should we do?
Continue same treatment,Also continue seroflo inhaler sos for breathing difficulty.
