Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Mild Bibasilar fibrosis can be early sign of interstitial lung disease (ILD).
It is also seen in smokers and patients with previous history of tuberculosis or pneumonia.
So if you are smoker than you should quit smoking as soon as possible.
For coughing, you should take antihistamine drugs.
You should also start newer antibiotic drug - perfinodone. It is the only drug which is approved by US FDA for reversal of fibrosis.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss about starting these drugs.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
