I recently had a chest CT scan, and it shows fibrotic scars in the left upper lobe of my lung, which the doctor said are post-inflammatory sequel changes. Is this something serious or is it a normal finding?

Accepted Answer

Fibrotic scars in the left upper lobe of your lung, described as post-inflammatory sequelae, typically result from past infections or inflammation.

Question 5

I got a chest X-ray done and the report says there's haziness in the left mid and lower zones. I'm a bit worried about what this means. Could it be something serious or should I be concerned about any specific conditions?

The X-ray report indicates haziness in the left mid and lower lung zones, which could suggest inflammation, infection, or a possible buildup of fluid. It's important to correlate this finding with your symptoms and clinical history for a more accurate diagnosis. I recommend discussing the results with your doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.

Dont worry its due to activeness of the disease, will subside as you proceed with treatment, take cough suppressing syrups as of now.
