If you have been diagnosed with a lung condition called aspergillosis, you might be wondering how to get rid of the fungus on your lungs. Aspergillosis is a fungal infection that can cause various symptoms, and the treatment options depend on the severity of the disease.
In some cases, mild forms of aspergillosis may not require immediate treatment. The infection might clear up on its own without intervention. For instance, if you have a single fungal ball, it can persist for a long time without causing any harm. However, it is important to have regular check-ups with your doctor to ensure that the disease does not progress.
If you are diagnosed with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, your doctor may recommend an antifungal medication called itraconazole. This is the most common course of action for treating ABPA. In case itraconazole is not effective, your doctor might suggest an oral corticosteroid as an alternative medication.
For patients with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis who develop a fungal ball, surgery is often the best option if the mass is in a removable location. Although antifungal medications may be prescribed, their effectiveness has been found to be limited in treating CPA.
In the most severe cases of aspergillosis, a combination of antifungal medication and surgery may be necessary. Additionally, other medications that suppress the immune system may need to be discontinued during treatment. Your doctor will guide you in determining the appropriate treatment plan for your specific condition.
While it can be challenging to completely avoid exposure to the Aspergillus fungus, individuals with severe lung disease or weakened immune systems should take special precautions. Minimizing exposure to soil and dust is recommended. In some cases, your doctor may suggest taking antifungal drugs as a preventive measure if you are at high risk.
