[|Human|] I just had a CT and it said tMild scarring is ween at both lung bases with interstitial prominence. This is more prominent of the right middle lobe. Mild biannual pleural thickening with interstitial prominence is noted. I also have a 3 mm pulmonary nodule in the right lower lobe that they want to watch for one year. I think i am more frightened about what is the interstitial prominence than the nodule at this time.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your CT picture is more suggestive of early interstitial lung disease (OLD). Better to first get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to know if any restrictive lung defect present or not. Treatment for OLD is as follows. 1.  Avoidance of smoking if you are smoker. 2. Avoidance of chemicals, fumes, dust at work place if you have this exposure. 3. Start bucolic, expectorant and antioxidants Chat Doctor.  4. Start anti-fibrotic
