If the lung nodule is caused by lung infection, yellow pus sputum can be coughed up when the infection is not effectively controlled. 3. Hemoptysis. If the lung nodule is malignant, when it invades the blood vessels in the lungs, it will lead to rupture of blood vessels and hemoptysis. 4. Low-grade fever and night sweats.
