Multiple nodules in both lungs can be treated systematically with medication or surgery if they are found to be slightly enlarged. The causes of multiple nodules in both lungs include lung infection, lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, etc. The appropriate treatment plan varies with different conditions.
1. Lung infection: It is necessary to clarify whether the pathogen causing lung infection is Mycoplasma, Mycobacterium tuberculosis or common pneumonia, and then listen to the doctor’s advice to apply antibiotics such as ampicillin, norfloxacin, roxithromycin, etc., or anti-tuberculosis medicines such as ethambutol, isoniazid and rifabutin.
2. Lung cancer: Lung cancer is a primary malignant tumor originated from bronchial tubes, lung glands or bronchial mucosa, including small cell carcinoma and non-small cell carcinoma, which can be found as multiple nodules locally when doing thin-layer spiral CT. Patients can take drugs such as crizotinib and bevacizumab to improve their condition; they can also choose local excision to remove the tumor tissue; radiotherapy and chemotherapy are also common methods.
3. Pulmonary fibrosis: drug factors, disease factors, genetic factors are common causes of the disease, CT examination can also show multiple nodules, generally using antifibrotic drug therapy, such as nidazanib, the presence of hypoxemia patients should also be carried out a long course of oxygen therapy.
If you find that small nodules in both lungs have increased in size, you should go to the hospital in time, listen to the doctor’s advice, and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment. Drugs are used under the guidance of a doctor, avoid self-medication.
