Dr. Guo Xiheng
Most cases of "white lung" disease are caused by diffuse inflammatory infiltration. Therefore, patients with such diffuse inflammation should receive timely treatment to prevent complications like respiratory failure and breathing difficulties. Additionally, these patients should undergo regular check-ups. It is recommended to seek prompt medical attention at the respiratory medicine department of a正规 hospital.
