Hi. I understand your concern. ILD will not improve in a month. Cough will be there. It's part of disease process. If he develops fever or excessive breathlessness then visit a pulmonologist for the same.

What kind of ILD has been diagnosed? please upload the papers with CT Chest reports. It will be easier to discuss further on video consult as ILD is a broad diagnosis and lot of discussion needs to happen over it
