Tge treatment of all these conditions u mentioned is slightly differrent. Treatment of diifferent types of interstitial pneumonias differs, which depends on HRCT THORAX pattern. & COPD also dont need steroids everytime. Sometimes in not very severe COPD exacerbation, antibiotics & inhaled bronchodilators & inhaled steroids suffice.(no systemic steroids). & some interstitial pneumonias requires steroids & some not, most of time in exacerbation, prednisolone benefits.
