What is the high density shadow in the left lower lung?

The symptom of cough is very common, but if the cough is more serious, then it is necessary to check it through CT, so as to find the cause of the disease. Many patients' examination results will show a high-density shadow in the left lower lung. What kind of disease is this? Some people think it is tuberculosis, or lung cancer, etc., so let's take a look at the high-density shadow in the left lower lung.

First, what is the high-density shadow in the left lower lung? The back pain on the left side should be caused by inflammation in the left lower lung involving the pleura. It is recommended to continue anti-inflammatory treatment for a period of time. The effect will be better if you take Chinese medicine at the same time during treatment. Dietary care: provide high-nutrition diet, encourage drinking plenty of water, and give light, easily digestible semi-liquid diet to those with severe illness and high fever. Keep warm and rest in bed as much as possible. If the symptoms may be caused by infection, you can take the Chinese patent medicine Wuwei Xiaodu Pills and Juhong Pills, cooperate with antibiotics for anti-infection treatment, go to the hospital for regular check-ups, and develop good living habits.

Second, it may be pneumonia. Currently, the main treatment for pneumonia is supportive treatment. On the one hand, it emphasizes that patients should get enough rest, strengthen care and nutrition; on the other hand, it treats symptoms such as fever, cough, and sputum. If the patient's pneumonia is caused by bacterial infection, antibacterial drug treatment is also required. In addition, TCM's syndrome differentiation and treatment also has significant therapeutic effects in the treatment of pneumonia.

What's the matter with the high-density shadow in the left lower lung? There is a strip-like shadow of increased density behind the cardiac edge of the left lower lung, and the rest is normal. The possibility of left lower lung pneumonia is considered. There may be cough and sputum, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite and other symptoms. Anti-inflammatory and expectorant treatments are effective, and the course of treatment is about half a month. It is recommended that you go to the respiratory department for examination and treatment, pay attention to rest and take medicine on time, eat easily digestible food and avoid raw, cold, hard and spicy food, and have regular follow-up visits. You will usually get better soon. If it is in the middle and upper lungs, then the possibility of tuberculosis is very high. If you usually cough and spit out blood, and sweat and have a fever at night or after noon, then the possibility of tuberculosis is even greater. If you have lost weight significantly recently, and are coughing up blood, and if you are older, then the possibility of a tumor cannot be ruled out. I hope you can do further examinations, such as CT or fiber bronchoscopy to confirm the situation.
