1. What are the preventive measures for interstitial pneumonia? 1. First of all, patients with interstitial pneumonia should pay attention to diet. Our patients have some foods that need to be avoided, mainly avoiding spicy and greasy foods. Spicy food is easy to turn into heat, injury to body fluid and warm nature. Pneumonia is a fever, which is aggravated by the combination of two fevers. Therefore, pepper, pepper, Sichuan pepper, mustard and wine are all pungent and hot products, and patients should ban them. Most greasy foods belong to warm foods, and the dampness stagnation is phlegm, which produces internal heat, which is not conducive to the early recovery of lung qi.
2. Patients with interstitial pneumonia should also pay attention to some allergic foods. Therefore, patients should avoid eating, drinking, smoking and salty according to their actual situation. Most patients with pulmonary fibrosis are accompanied by airway hyperresponsiveness. The stimulation of smoke, wine and salty food can easily lead to bronchial reaction and aggravate symptoms such as cough and asthma.
3. Patients with interstitial pneumonia should eat some healthy fruits. This is good for patients to recover, but patients should not eat warm fruits, such as apricots, peaches, oranges, plums, etc., so as not to help heat and produce phlegm. Eating too much cold fruit will damage the yang of the spleen and stomach, hinder the function of transportation and transformation, and is not conducive to the recovery of the disease.
4. Patients with interstitial pneumonia should also drink plenty of water. Experts tell us that some critically ill patients often lose water due to diseases such as mouth breathing, sweating and eating less, and the sputum is sticky and difficult to cough up. Therefore, it is of great significance to replenish water in time and increase liquid intake for correcting or preventing water loss.
Second, how to treat interstitial pneumonia? 1 First of all, Chinese medicine can be used to treat interstitial pneumonia. Chinese medicine should treat interstitial pneumonia according to the symptoms of patients. Drinking traditional Chinese medicine will stimulate our human body less, and it can play a very good role in replenishing qi and blood and dredging meridians.
2. Secondly, when treating interstitial pneumonia, you can also choose the method of western medicine treatment. The first choice of western medicine treatment is oral prednisone, a corticosteroid, which can help patients reduce infection and inflammation, but the dosage of prednisone should be constantly adjusted, and some patients need to take medicine for life.
3. Finally, in the treatment of interstitial pneumonia, if the above drugs are ineffective, you can also take azathioprine orally. This immunosuppressant has relatively small side effects, which can help patients improve their immune ability, thus controlling the development of inflammation and the further deterioration of the disease.
