Weird that your doctor says that, as nothing 'heals' the lungs. It will probably help your symptoms and breathing but there is currently no cure x

As Dedalus says, nothing heals the lungs. What steroids do is to reduce inflammation so that the airways are less narrow and air can flow in and out more easily.

I wish health practitioners wouldn't use such imprecise language.
