Dear Mr. lybrate-user, perfinidone is the mainstay treatment. In this condition, lung becomes like rope fibres, the size of the lungs reduces and hence there is difficulty in breathing (dam chadna) and cough is present. The above medication will halt the disease and prevents progress. Sadly no medicines available til now to reverse it. The only answer to this disease is lung transplantation. You can check few ipf groups on facebook. U can get few answers. There are trials going on, but the medic...more

Mr. lybrate-user, pirfefenidone is the main drug for ild if its ipf form. Acebrophylline is not useful in ild. There are few cough syrups that wil help to reduce it.

chemotherapy can help in well being a little bit... but v cant guarantee...

where all is the spread... do u have PET AND CT SCAN

You have not mentioned about your previous pet ct report. If the current pet ct suggests progression of disease then we have to change medication and if its static or improved than last pet ct then we have to continue same treatment.

Hi lybrate-user. Lung cancer does not carry a good prognosis. Your father in lawhas stage 4 disease which has been treated with chemotherapy and targeted therapy. If your father in law has developed respiratory problems even after osimertinib, it means that the disease is in progression. He should undergo imaging with ct scan of chest to assess the disease extent.

Hi, you can use alfa mother tincture 8 drop mix in1/2 cup of water with avena sativa syrup 1 table spoon two times a day

Medicine is for infection.
Pleural effusion has many causes. Just send all investigation for thorough evaluation.

As I don't know the full history and the nature and origin of pain, its difficult to suggest accurate treatment. Two suggestions, 1. See the dr, who is treating lung cancer or he may refer her to pain clinic, 2. If the cancer has spread to the bone then zolendronic acid once a month, and if its due to local disease, then pregabalin or prothiadine.
