My father 87 year old have been hospitalized in new jersey usa for 43 days now with interstitial lung disease. Principal problem: pneumonia of left lower lobe due to infectious organism active problems: acute calculus cholecystitis interstitial lung disease (hcc) left bundle branch block acute on chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia (hcc) paroxysmal a-fib (hcc) currently on 4 l oxygen nasal cannula patient currently in steroid prednisone 30 mg and mepron and cefepime iv antibiotics. Recent x-ray shows worsening of lung condition all lobe impacted. Following this website I am giving him beryllium and silicea alongside the hospital?s alopathic treatment. I only go to hospital once in the evening, giving him 5 pallets of beryllium 30c and 3 pallets of silicea 30c one hour apart in the evening. I am not sure if I am giving him right amount. Requesting direction on the appropriate doses (also if any other meds and doses are suggested) for the acute stage of ild, again I am only able to go to the hospital once in the evening so only can give homeopathy medicine once a day.

Allopathic treatment includes antibiotics and iv steroids in a tapering dose as mentioned by you above to reduce the acute exacerbation. Rest if the ild is uip pattern then it is not reversible and if it fibrotic nsip only the ggos which may have occurred now can be reversible. Rest is irreversible. Please check whether it is uip or nsip on cect thorax. Secondly ild is lung debilitating condition ultimately any amount of medicines just improves exacerbation and also will prevent further worsening to some extent. Continuous ltot mat be required for patient. Rest for homeopath treatment you need to consult a homeopath doctor. It you could let me know by direct msg through Lybrate regarding the reports and findings i'll be keen to consult on this case.
