Suggest Treatment For Scarring On The Lungs
Question: do you know anything about the lungs
Brief Answer:
Scarring is hearing from an infection!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this finding and all the inconveniences this has caused you. Lingula is the small triangular part of the left lung(tongue shaped). When we talk about scarring, it means you have a healed infection. This is probably from a past lung infection. The report doesn't seem to suggest that the represent any concerns and there is no reason for further evaluation at this time. How are you feeling at this time? Do you still have any further symptoms of breathing difficulties? And finally, what did the doctors say was the cause of your symptoms?
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
