If it is mild pulmonary fibrosis after viral pneumonia, it can be left untreated, but if there is a tendency for the fibrosis to continue, it should be treated.
Pulmonary fibrosis after viral pneumonia is caused by incomplete treatment of viral pneumonia. If the lung fibrosis is mild, it can be left untreated for the time being because the lesion is more fixed and will not develop further.
If the patient has an autoimmune disease that is causing the fibrosis to develop further, then treatment is needed, and a common treatment is oral pirfenidone.
In addition, good lifestyle habits are important. Avoid cold, spicy and stimulating foods, exercise properly to improve lung capacity, and ensure adequate nutrition to enhance immunity.
In conclusion, if you have viral pneumonia or other lung diseases, you must be treated in time to prevent lung fibrosis.
