Interstitial pneumonia is not a single disease, but a general term of a large class of diseases, about a hundred kinds, and a few of them are known to have definite causes, such as pneumoconiosis, drug-induced pneumonia and radiation pneumonia. However, some causes are unknown, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis. It is a symptom of "intractable cough" in traditional Chinese medicine!

After getting interstitial pneumonia, there will always be a series of symptoms such as emaciation, fatigue, anorexia and joint pain in limbs, which seriously affect the normal life of patients. Let's take a look at how patients with interstitial pneumonia use drugs.

1 First of all, Chinese medicine can be used to treat interstitial pneumonia. Chinese medicine should treat interstitial pneumonia according to the symptoms of patients. Drinking traditional Chinese medicine will stimulate our human body less, and it can play a very good role in replenishing qi and blood and dredging meridians.

2. Secondly, when treating interstitial pneumonia, you can also choose the method of western medicine treatment. The first choice of western medicine treatment is oral prednisone, a corticosteroid, which can help patients reduce infection and inflammation, but the dosage of prednisone should be constantly adjusted, and some patients need to take medicine for life.

3. Finally, in the treatment of interstitial pneumonia, if the above drugs are ineffective, you can also take azathioprine orally. This immunosuppressant has relatively small side effects, which can help patients improve their immune ability, thus controlling the development of inflammation and the further deterioration of the disease.
