Hello doctor,
I was diagnosed with Hamman-Rich Syndrome three years ago. My only treatment is oxygen 24/7 and Albuterol with wellness checkups every six months. I am scheduled to see a new doctor next month. My question is how or if dog hair affects my condition.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com. Dog hair can affect your lungs in two ways: 1. It can cause atypical lung infection. 2. It can cause hypersensitivity complicated by acute exacerbation of acute interstitial pneumonia.
