What Could Be The Cause Of Nodule In Lung? How To Treat It?
I have been told I have a nodule in my lung and I am wondering what causes them or how did I get it. I have had a cold with lung infection for about 6 weeks and my doctor sent me for an Xray and it came back that I had a nodule in the right side of my lung. I also have C.O.P.D

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
A lung nodule can be because of any of the following :
1. Malignancy
2. Calcified / Non Calcified lymph node
3. Lung Abscess
4. Tuberculosis.
I would advice you to share your Xray chest with us.
Also , you may require CECT Chest to rule out the cause.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask me through Premium Query directed on my name. I will help you my best.
Stay Healthy.
