Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My father works in a cotton industry since last 20 years. From 10 years now, he is suffering from a cough. He underwent DNA (de-oxyribose nucleic acid) test and CT-scan (computed tomography), reports are normal.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

He has interstitial lung disease. He needs treatment but without examining, it is tough to advice. I would suggest you to visit a nearby doctor for a better treatment option.

I hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
