Question 1

is there a definite cure for restrictive lung disease?

Accepted Answer

Depends.: Too many types of restrictive lung disease to answer in this short space. I assume because you are asking the question that you have been told that you do not have a "cure".  Many restrictive diseases are not curable, but there are good treatments.  On the other hand morbid obesity may cause restriction and may be cured.

Question 2

can mild fibrosis of lungs be cured? if yes, then what's the medication for it? it shows only in right lower lobe in hrct (lungs)?

Accepted Answer

: Fibrosis of the lung, even when mild, cannot be reversed because it represents scarring. You need to prevent further damage. If you smoke, you must quit now and your doctor can help with this, if needed. Best of luck to you!

Question 3

pre-brochodilator spirometry results is 64 in fvc, is this ok?by conclusion/medical report it states that mild restrictive lung deficit.what to do?

Accepted Answer

Incomplete info: It is hard to make a diagnosis with only one information. The lung function is an interaction of several values and changes with medicine.  Furthermore, the cause is not elucidated and treatment difficult to determine. Obesity alone can cause restrictive lung disease. We need more information, ask your doctor who has the infos.

Question 4

i have minimal pain at my left side of chest from past 6 months. my hrct revealed "resolved pneumothorax with sub-plural blebs in bilateral lung apices" and my pft is suggestive of mild obstruction. please suggest me treatment , medicines and cure?

Accepted Answer

: Proper treatment requires a review of past and current medical history, testing and a physical evaluation with vital signs. We don't treat labs or suggest direct care plans. This site is not designed to be a substitute for your local physicians care. The cited data suggest there are several other issues that need to be ruled out before any course of treatment.

Question 5

i had covid in the first wave and it caused white patches in my lungs, visible in the ct scan. i now have mild breathing problems. the pulmonary specialist said there's no cure for the patches then. are there any new treatments available now?

Accepted Answer

: There is no treatment or cure for lung scarring, which is the most likely explanation for "patches" seen on CT that persist for months or years. You don't say the nature of your "mild breathing problems", but it may have nothing to do with your past covid or the lung patches. Your pulmonary specialist is the one to discuss this with. Good luck.

Question 6

in ct scan of chest (hrct) it shows mild fibrosis are seen on the lower right lobe. can it be cured? how and what diet or food to be eaten to reduce the illness?

Accepted Answer

: Fibrosis of the lung represents scar and this cannot be cured. Luckily, it is listed as mild and it is only in line area. The goal now is to avoid getting fibrosis anywhere else. If you are smoking, you need to quit ASAP-your doctor can help with smoking cessation. That is the best thing you can do to prevent further fibrosis. There is really no specific diet that will help. Good luck!

Question 7

i have pretty bad acne on my back, and mild acne on my chest, neck and face. id like to be cured. over the counter medicine doesnt seem to be working for me. my pores are large and my skin is oily. benzoyl peroxide doesnt seem successful. help?

Accepted Answer

: We cannot prescribe medications on this forum (there is another HealthTap forum which can) but it sounds like your acne may require antibiotic therapy for a period of time, so Dr visit recommended.  If that doesn’t work you may be a candidate for Accutane therapy.  Try to monitor your diet to see if any certain foods cause flare ups &amp; if so, avoid those foods

Question 8

can reflux cause mild edema of lungs?

Accepted Answer

Not edema : Pulmonay edema usually means increased interstitial fluid as a consequence of fluid overload (ie chf). That is not a consequence of gerd. Regurgitation of stomach contents may make its way into ones lungs if severe enough and patient unable to clear it by coughing. These aspirating events may cause focal inflammation of the lung.

Question 9

is there a cure for hyperinflated lungs. what is the cause of this.

Accepted Answer

Many causes: Hyperinflated lungs means that there is too much air. Now, that can be from asthma, which is usually reversible and can get better. If its from COPD, or emphysema, it may not be cured, but it can also get better. Best thing is to see a doctor and get a lung function test. That's the best way to tell if you have hyperinflation. Maybe the x ray wasn't accurate? The lung test will be best answer.

Question 10

sir my p f t pre post test my lung is working 57% it can be cure my medicine?

Accepted Answer

Mgt: There are many possible conditions which may be associated. It would be helpful to view the FEV1, FVC and FEF 25/75 pre and post a bronchodilator. If you improve with Albuterol, this inhaler along with other medications may be used..
Avoiding smoke, dust, mold, birds and pets may also help.
