Interstitial lung disease for my uncle

2023-05-17 05:48:18
Hi doctor, My father in law had frequent fevers from past few months and he went for the checkup last time and doctor said he has infection in lungs and that is due to post covid.. He was on medication from 2 months and he is fine but he stopped medication from past 15 days and suddenly he got fever.. So he went for another checkup yesterday and after the scan doctor said it is Interstitial lung disease and there is no cure for it and his lungs became hard.. So doctor gave medication now.. How serious is this disease? Will there be any life threat?
