Childhood Interstitial Lung Disease treatment

Childhood Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) involves inflammation and scarring in children's lungs, affecting breathing. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving lung function. This often includes medications such as corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, and supportive care like oxygen therapy to help with breathing. In some cases, specialized therapies or lung transplant may be considered for severe cases. Pediatric pulmonologists closely monitor the child’s condition and adjust treatments as needed to ensure the best possible outcomes and quality of life. Regular follow-ups are essential for ongoing care and support.
