Can pulmonary fibrosis be reversed?

When lung function becomes sick, it may mean that there is a problem with our physical condition, so we should be vigilant in normal times. Generally, it is very unlikely that pulmonary fibrosis can be reversed, but if it can be well controlled and treated actively, it may change and reverse. The main treatment used is Western medicine, and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine is more effective.

Pulmonary fibrosis is well controlled in the early stages of alveolitis and interstitial lung inflammation, especially with traditional Chinese medicine treatment of alveolitis and interstitial lung fibrosis caused by pulmonary fibrosis. Therefore, once pulmonary fibrosis is discovered, it must be treated as early as possible to prevent irreversible changes.

6. Immunomodulators (BCG polysaccharide nucleic acid, levamisole)

2. TCM Treatment Methods
