• Can lungs regenerate?

I had severe influenza infection, and part of my lung collapsed. Is it possible to get that back in shape with therapy or medication? Can I ever go back to how I was before this happened?

A collapsed lung doesn't need to regenerate, merely to expand again to its original size - which usually happens.
