Pulmonary fibrosis is the development of fiberous lung tissue as a result of a lung disease.  It is more apt to happen with chronic lung diseases.  So....the best thing to do is not smoke, wear a mask if you work in a lung hostile environment, eat healthy and exercise daily.  Also, if you have a respiratory illness, get treated for it early.  The quicker you get through a resp illness, the less damage done to your lungs.  This damage can accumulate over the years.

Drink plenty of water and don't smoke cigarettes (the worst for blood flow)or drink alcohol. Also Aerobic exercise will make your lungs better able to get oxygen into the bloodstream.

Number one, you should definitely talk to your doctor about this.  There are medications that can help.  There is an herbal remedy called Seredyn (seredyn.com).  It does work.  You can also try taking Flax Seed oil or Flaxseed pills to increase your omega3 fatty acid intake.  Taking a few minutes every day for meditation can help too.  Just relax and do some breathing exercises.  Hope you feel better soon.

colds are caused by viruses, so the only way to get better is to rest.  try to stay home, get lots of sleep, drink lots of fluids like orange juice (the vitamin C will help with your immune system, as your body is healing, it will use more vitamin C than normal, so replenishing is important).  There's also some possible links with zinc, but I never bother.  Nor with any herbal remedies.  chicken soup has been shown to help, although most just suspect that it's the increased intake of fluids, which are warm (for the sinuses).  It won't hurt.  Try to eat enough as well - you need to again replace energy used in the healing process.  Mentholatum or Vicks Vapor rub can help with congestion.\n\nThere are two lines of thought with over the counter medications.  First is that all the mucus and discharge is caused by your body trying to get rid of the virus.  So stopping that completely may not be great.  At the same time, if you don't treat, then you're miserable and can't rest properly.  Addiitonally, you run the risk of the mucus getting into your lungs, where then it can develop further into a respiratory problem - not good if you need to blow your trumpet.  Use whatever you need to alleviate the symptoms, but just don't over treat.\n\nThe reason that you're coughing and have a sore throat is because the mucus is sliding down the back of your throat from your nasal passages.  This is caused by your body's histamine response.  Therefore using an antihistamine should help to decrease mucus production.  A decongestant will help you breath and decrease swelling of the nasal passages.  If it's already gotten into your lungs, you may want to get an expectorant which is supposed to help you cough up the mucus.  Don't waste your time with cough suppressants though.  recent studies have found that the dosage of OTC cough medicines are not enough to truly alleviate coughs.  Don't be afraid to try alternatives as well - if the Tylenol Cold isn't working, try an allergy medication like Claritin-D - which is essentially the same thing - a decongestant and anti-histamine.\n\nHope you feel better

Here are a couple of good ideas:\n\nSteam inhalation to help prevent secondary infections when you have a cold (bronchitis). It's really quite easy: Bring a pot of water to a boil, take it off the fire, then stand over it and create a tent with a towel over your head and the pot. Purse your lips and breathe steam though your mouth. For best results, before inhaling, steep a small handful of sage and/or eucalyptus leaves or a teaspoon of the essential oils of either or both (available at herb shops) in the steaming water. Not only is this procedure soothing, it's preventive, since the aromatic oils are known to retard bacterial growth.\n\nAnother remedy is strong ginger tea, which helps clear up chest congestion. Peel and grate (lengthwise on the large holes of a grater) a chunk of fresh gingerroot. Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of the gingerroot into a mug of just-boiled water. Cover and let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain and drink. (If you like, add honey to taste.) Drink a few cups of ginger tea throughout the day. \n\nHope this helps!

I have had Fibro for 20 years now and am basiscally in the same situtation. I use nutritional supplements and they seem to work really well. I just take a good multiple vitamin and a Magnesium/ Malic Acid combination. I do also take Zanaflex, a muscle relaxer and that helps a lot too.\nI've tried various "herbal remedies" and nothing helped. I also was quite sceptical about taking herbs since they are unregulated by the FDA, can have serious side effects and anything can be in them.\nGood luck!

there's something called black seed oil.It's basically the oil extracted from black jeera seeds and it works well for respiratory problems and bronchitis. You have to drink half a spoon of it with half a cup of warm water in the night when you feel like you need it and also rub some on your chest and back. The oil also has numerous other health benefits. You can do a google search on it. \nalso, practising pranayama every morning will help.
