​Treatment for ILD depends on the underlying cause. 

Non-medication treatments involve:

• Pulmonary rehabilitation programme – helps strengthen breathing muscles and manage breathing difficulties. Structured and supervised exercise training with education, support and self-management strategies
  
• Oxygen therapy – supplemental oxygen may improve activity levels. In some cases, patients may require long term oxygen therapy
• Updated vaccinations against influenza and pneumococcus reduce the risk of
  
  infections which can worsen breathlessness and other symptoms
