Hi I can understand your concern...

Your mother having interstitial lung disease ILD ....

But you have not mentioned cause. ...
So following has to be ruled out .....
-Interstitial pneumonia
-asbestosis or silicosis like occupational lung disease
-hypersensitivity pneumonitis by dust, pollen etc..
-Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
-some immune disease like rheumatoid arthritis , scleroderna, sarcoidosis etc...

For correct diagnosis along with x ray , lung tissue biopsy needed.....

According to cause treatment guided....

Your mother might need steroid to reduce inflammation...

If pneumonia cause then antibiotic given...

Measure your blood oxygen level , if low oxygen therapy given to protect heart ..

So you can consult good pulmonologist for your condition nearby hospital in state ...

Take care ....

Hope your concern solved..
