What can you eat or take supplement to help lung inflammation ? does it usually go away on its own ? what can cause lung inflammation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: Without a review of your history, exam & possibly some testing it is hard to speculate on the cause of supposed "inflammation" or what to do about it. The lung can react to inhaled germs, toxic gasses, water, stomach contents that are vomited & inhaled, etc. I don't believe there is a supplement that has specific value for lung health. Perhaps you can start over & be more specific about your issue
