What are the symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis?

Currently, the drugs used to treat pulmonary fibrosis mainly include pirfenidone, nintedanib, anti-fibrotic drugs and symptomatic treatment drugs. In addition, pulmonary rehabilitation treatment is also very important. Currently, the drugs used to treat pulmonary fibrosis mainly include the following: 1. pirfenidone: is a novel oral small molecule pulmonary fibrosis treatment with anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects that slow down the progression of pulmonary fibrosis, improve quality of life and prolong survival. 2. nintedanib: A small molecule multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor for oral administration that inhibits the activity of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases such as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, platelet-derived growth factor receptor and fibroblastgrowthfactor receptor, thereby inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and fibrosis. Such as glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants, can reduce inflammatory response, inhibit the activation and proliferation of immune cells, thereby reducing the progress of pulmonary fibrosis. 4. symptomatic treatment drugs: such as oxygen, cough, phlegm, etc., to alleviate the symptoms of patients and improve the quality of life. It should be noted that the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis requires comprehensive consideration of the patient's condition, age, complications and other factors to select the appropriate treatment plan. At the same time, patients need to follow the doctor's advice during the treatment process, take medicine on time, and review regularly to control the progression of the disease. In addition, pulmonary rehabilitation therapy is also very important for patients with pulmonary fibrosis, including respiratory training, nutritional support, psychological adjustment, etc., which can help improve the quality of life and survival rate of patients. In short, pulmonary fibrosis treatment is a long-term and complex process, requiring comprehensive treatment and multidisciplinary team cooperation. Patients and family members should actively cooperate with doctors' treatment, maintain an optimistic attitude, improve quality of life and prolong survival.
