Ground glass nodules in the lungs should be treated with surgical treatment, medication, and follow-up observation after the nature of the nodules has been clarified.
1. For tiny nodules <5mm in diameter and patients without clinical symptoms, chest CT can be repeated at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, and those with no change can be converted to routine annual examination.
2. For active infectious diseases caused by ground glass nodules in the lungs, anti-infective treatment is needed, such as tuberculosis requiring anti-tuberculosis treatment through rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, streptomycin and other drugs, and inflammation in the lungs can be treated with anti-infective treatment through drugs such as cefazolin, penicillin and other drugs.
3. If the nodules are found to have blurred margins, lobular sign, burr sign, bronchial truncation, pleural pulling and other features at the initial diagnosis or during follow-up, they should be treated by surgery as early as possible.
Ground-glass nodules in the lungs should be treated by respiratory medicine or thoracic surgery to prevent delay.
