need to identify cause first for ppfe, if it is drug induced then avoidance of the drug (like cyclophosphomide etc.) even radiotherapy can cause in some rare cases.
treatment is non specific many people hv tried many medicines from steroids to anti fibrotic agents with not so good improvements, ideal would be to observe the pulmonary function treatment and ct scans.
