Short Bio

Hello:

My dad was diagnosed with IPF 6 months ago. He was on Esbriet/Pirfenidone

He recently started to have frequent dry cough that doesn’t let him sleep and other conditions with few recent hospitalizations. During recent hospitalization, he developed few other co-morbid conditions such as urine infection then throat infection, lower protein level. His new CT Scan shows progression of IPF and other reports are also normal. So wanted to explore some options and see what else to try or consider to get relief in dry cough.

I am very excited to join the group and learn from other members’ experience.
