Whether "white lung" can be cured depends on the progression and severity of the condition. "White lung" refers to severe pneumonia caused by viral or bacterial infections, with main symptoms including fever, cough, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, it may lead to serious complications such as hypoxemia and respiratory failure. The recovery rate for white lung depends on the patient's disease progression, severity, and response to treatment.
