Lindsay will provide tips for managing cough that will help you cope. She will also discuss oxygen use. Many lung fibrosis patients need oxygen at some point in their treatment. Getting started with oxygen can be challenging, but using it can help you to remain active. Lindsay will help you understand more about the role of oxygen therapy and provide tips on its use.
