Solid lung nodules become bigger, may be old lesions, lung infection, lung malignant tumor, according to the cause of the disease can be taken temporary observation, drug treatment, or surgical treatment, radiotherapy.
1. Old foci: For example, if you have had pneumonia or tuberculosis before, when your condition improves and you have recovered completely, you will be left with calcifications, which usually do not need special treatment and can be observed regularly.
2. Lung infection: for example, lung infection with bacteria, virus, etc., may cause inflammatory exudate fluid, and solid nodules will be found through examination. If bacterial infection is detected, it is recommended to take cefixime and cefaclor for oral antibacterial treatment; while for viral infection, it is necessary to take ribavirin for oral antiviral treatment as prescribed by the doctor.
3. Lung malignant tumor: if belongs to primary lung cancer, radical surgery can be done in early stage; if metastasis is found, antichemotherapy should be carried out as soon as possible to inhibit the cancer cells, radiotherapy mainly includes local radiotherapy and systemic radiotherapy, and chemotherapeutic drugs can be cisplatin, carboplatin, pemetrexed and docetaxel, which need to be chosen according to the classification of lung cancer.
