Brief Answer:
Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) should be started.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your question.
I can understand your concern.
Sarcoidosis is connective tissue disease (CTD).
It can flare up and cause inflammation in lungs.
So inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone) should be started to prevent lung inflammation.
Please let me know if you are taking any inhaled treatment or not.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
