LUNG TRANSPLANTATION IS THE ONLY THERAPEUTIC TREATMENT AVAILABLE FOR SEVERE CASES
TILL YOU CAN CANTINUE PREDNISOLONE AND IF SHE IS NOT GETTING NO RELIEF THEN YOU SHOULD CONSULT PHYSICIAN AND PULMONOLOGIST
YOU CAN ALSO GO IMMUNOSUPPRESIVE THERAPY SUCH AS CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE, AZATHIOPRINE, CYCLOSPORINE AND METHOTREXATE
