What can I do to manage my ILD? 

Living with ILD can be challenging, but there are things you can do to help manage your lung health and symptoms, such as:

• quitting smoking and avoiding secondhand smoke

• keeping up to date with vaccinations

• eating a healthy, balanced diet

• maintaining gentle physical activity to strengthen muscles

• using oxygen as prescribed

• joining a pulmonary rehabilitation or support group

• attending regular follow-up appointments so your team can adjust treatment as needed
