I'm really worried about my dad; he's been dealing with interstitial lung disease for the past couple of years, and I'm afraid it's in an advanced stage now. His latest HRCT report shows a superimposed infection. The doctor mentioned there's no medication to control this situation. Can you give me some advice or let me know if there are any options we haven't considered?

I've been having this coughing issue for a few months now, and I noticed that whenever I take Montair LC, the cough stops but only for two days. Then it comes back, and I find myself needing to take the medicine again for some temporary relief. I'm getting a bit concerned and wondering why this is happening. Is it normal for the relief to be so short-lived, or should I be thinking about seeing a doctor for a more permanent solution?
That could be due to allergy consume warm foods and identify the triggering factor and avoid it

I'm a bit worried because I've had pleural effusion in my right lung and got it tapped. I've been on treatment for it since May, starting with AKT4 for the first two months and then switching to AKT2 for the next four. It's been four months now, but I still feel a sharp pain in my right lung when I sneeze, hiccup, or yawn. Is this something I should be concerned about? Also, I haven't lost any weight; in fact, I've gained 5 kg since May and weigh 61 kg now. Any advice on what might be going on?
