Pneumoconiosis is generally caused by long-term inhalation of dust particles, resulting in a type of pulmonary fibrosis. Typically, the clinical symptoms experienced by patients are recurrent over a long period. These patients usually suffer considerably, and when clinical symptoms occur, appropriate medications are needed to provide symptomatic treatment for relief. Symptoms may worsen even with slight activity, and in such cases, patients generally receive symptomatic treatment. There are no specific drugs that can cure this condition. Treatment for pneumoconiosis is usually symptomatic. While some patients may opt for lung lavage if circumstances allow, it is not necessarily a treatment for pneumoconiosis. Lung lavage carries certain risks and has not been widely implemented clinically. Therefore, it is generally recommended that patients with pneumoconiosis stick to symptomatic treatment and avoid lung lavage due to the significant risks involved.
