Hi I can understand your concern... Your mother having interstitial lung disease OLD .... But you have not mentioned cause. ... So following has to be ruled out .....-Interstitial pneumonia -asbestos is or silicosis like occupational lung disease -hypersensitivity pneumonitis by dust, pollen etc.-Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis -some immune disease like rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, acidosis etc... For correct diagnosis along with x-ray, lung tissue biopsy needed..... According to cause treatment guided.... Your mother might need steroid to reduce inflammation... If pneumonia cause then antibiotic given... Measure your blood oxygen level, if low oxygen therapy given to protect heart . So you can consult good pulmonologist for your condition nearby hospital in state ... Take care .... Hope your concern solved.
