The symptoms of sarcoidosis go away without any kind of treatment on most of the times. Regular medication with prompt follow ups for monitoring the disease can help to control the symptoms; however, there is no cure for sarcoidosis.

The commonly prescribed medicines are as follows: corticosteroids to take care of the inflammation; drugs which suppress the immunity to stop the autoimmune reaction; anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce inflammation; and antimalarial drugs to reduce the increased calcium levels.

Surgery is a part of sarcoidosis treatment but only when the condition is worse. In case of severe damage to organs like heart, lungs or kidneys in sarcoidosis, your doctor will recommend you a surgery for the transplant of the damaged organ.

Yes, a physical therapist can help you in treating your sarcoidosis. When you have lung- and heart-related symptoms, you experience fatigue and shortness of breath. A physical therapist trains you to perform breathing exercises, increase the strength of your respiratory muscles and reduce fatigue.

The duration of the sarcoidosis treatment will depend upon the severity of your disease. If diagnosed and treated at an early stage I, the symptoms go away within one year of treatment. In stages II and III, you may need the treatment for six months to two years. While in worse cases where the condition progresses to stage IV, you may need lifelong treatment with close monitoring.
