I'm really concerned about my breathing issues because I've been diagnosed with Interstitial Lung Disease and it's causing a lot of flare-ups. Could you help me understand what Usual Interstitial Pneumonia is? How can I manage or prevent these flare-ups in my lungs? I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and would really appreciate some advice.

I'm struggling with a cough and cold, and now I can't sleep at night. I'm wheezing and finding it a bit hard to breathe, especially when trying to rest. I'm currently using a Duolin Inhaler, but it's not as effective as I hoped. Any advice on what else I might do, or should I be worried about the symptoms?

I noticed that both yesterday and today, while I was drinking water, I had a cough that caused a mild pain in the left side of my chest, right under the collarbone. It lasted for about 2 to 3 minutes after I coughed. What could this be? Should I be worried about this kind of pain occurring every time I drink?
