My nephew has been diagnosed with a blockage in his lung..his Dr. finally ordered an x-ray sfter a month and a half of my nephew having trouble breathing and sorness and it showed this blockage now he is waiting to have a cat scan..he has also lost 20 lbs..
Hi thanks for asking question. The lung blockage could be possibly by mass that obstruct pathway. CT scan will suggest regarding whether it seems infective or neoplastic condition. If possible CT or USG guided FNAC can be taken to rule out nature if mass. Then according to report management done. This blockage if not by mass then fibrosis has to be ruled out caused by tuberculosis Like infection or any other fibrosis condition. CT scan and sputum examination will be helpful. Sometimes blockage may be by enlarge lymph node like Hilary node enlargement. If foreign body ingestion history present then it might lead such symptoms. More information about your condition will be revealed by x-ray and CT finding. I hope you will understand my concern.
