My father was diagnosed as a pulmonary nodule by a doctor, and he was reexamined half a month later. He is a 52-year-old man. I suddenly had an indirect cough and shortness of breath the day before yesterday, and then went to the city hospital for treatment the next day. The treatment of pulmonary nodules must first be clear about its nature. After all, lung surgery is not a minor operation. The most common causes of pulmonary nodules are inflammation and tumor. First, anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out to see if it is effective. Tumors include benign and malignant tumors. Benign tumors generally do not require surgery and can be followed up. The most common malignant tumor is lung cancer, and the earlier the operation, the better. If the lung nodule is likely to be early lung cancer, it is necessary to operate immediately; If you can't rule out lung cancer, you'd better have an operation. So, what you need most now is a definite diagnosis. High resolution CT of lung is of great value.
