How to treat multiple small nodules in both my lungs?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I underwent a comprehensive health checkup recently and it revealed multiple small nodules in both my lungs from the high-resolution CT scan. Presently, I have sporadic recurring breathlessness during late evenings.

Now, I am taking osteopenia medication, calcium, and calcinase nasal spray. The CT scan report is attached for your reference.

Please advise the next course of action.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your CT (computed tomography) scan report (attachment removed to protect patient identity) suggests that you do have nodular lesions. But your symptoms do not correlate with these lesions. Nodules of less than 0.2 inches in size are of no significance. A nodule of 0.3 inches in size is to be followed up after six months with a CECT (contrast-enhanced computed tomography) chest.

If you have a loss of weight or appetite or uncontrolled fever ,then it needs to be followed up more frequently.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
