How are you diagnosed with hypersensitivity pneumonitis and can it happen suddenly?what can i do if i have it
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple things: An appropriate history, chest x-ray ANS appropriate blood tests are often needed. If the exposure that causes it can be identified avoidance of the exposure can be curative. Steroids can help relieve symptoms for the short term. If the exposure persist, serious lung damage can occur. You do need to see your physician or specialist for this problem.
