Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
It is not common to see development of lung fibrosis over few months but it cannot be entirely ruled out. Even hereditary conditions and exposure to drugs and dust can cause fibrosis. I suggest you get a CT scan chest done to evaluate the lungs in detail. It will show exactly what has happened to your lungs and if you really have fibrosis or any underlying lung condition.
