Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) refers to a group of disorders that cause scarring (fibrosis) of lung tissues, making breathing difficult. Common symptoms include persistent dry cough, shortness of breath, and fatigue.

Early diagnosis is crucial to slow disease progression. Treatment options may include medications, oxygen therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation. In advanced cases, lung transplantation may be considered. With proper care and monitoring, patients can maintain a better quality of life despite the condition.
