I think you have wrong information about lung inflammation .ask your treating doctor about the prescribed medication. Ibuprofen and other oral anti-inflammatory medication (except steroids) have no role in asthma.

Hello doctor. My father is 77 years old and has been diagnosed with ild recently. All needed blood test /scan/xray were done and all his vitals are normal n stable. However he is no oral medication and has only on and off cough and breathlessness during the early mornings and Dr. Has prescribed him to have nebulization of duolin+budecort once a day at night or as needed. Our concern is nebulization be the only way out to treat his ild going forward or is there any other way out to handle this. Though we are exploring options of pulmonologist around us just wanted to check on opinions before we take a decision. Tks in advance for your online supports and look fwd for a response. Tku.

It depends on the type of ILD.

Nebulisation is not the main kine of treatment.
It is only supportive.

Depending on the type of ILD He needs to be started on tablets depending on IPF/NSIP Pattern and cause for ILD.
Oral tablets are the mainstay of treatment.
