Treatment for lung damage depends on the cause and severity:
1. Removal from Exposure: The first step is often to remove the individual from the source of exposure. 2. Medications: Such as anti-inflammatory drugs, bronchodilators, and antibiotics in case of infection. 3. Oxygen Therapy: For individuals with severe breathing difficulties. 4. Pulmonary Rehabilitation: A program that includes exercise, education, and support to improve lung function. 5. Surgery: In extreme cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to remove damaged lung tissue.
