Can we support a minor collapsed lung the way we would with prolapse of other organs, and/or with respiratory tonics? Doctors of the client seem unconcerned, said it "might inflate on its own"; primary symptom was pain near sternum on L side (the lung that's collapsed) with deep breathing, but is significantly reduced after 3 weeks with rest. Other than getting future imaging to confirm if the lung has reinflated, could we know that has happened simply by relief of symptoms, or could it stay deflated long-term and have no pain associated?

David said: The herbs that help bladder or rectal prolapse will not likely help a collapsed lung. Pneumothorax is often caused by trauma and the air in the lung leaks into the chest, causing pressure to the lung and collapse. A minor collapse will often heal itself. Major ones need surgical intervention. Lung tonics like Astragalus and Prince Seng may offer some benefit but that is theoretical.
