[|AI|]  Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. You are having chronic cough with nodular opacity in left upper lobe. This can be seen in following conditions. 1. Tuberculosis2. Chronic pneumonia. 3. Fungal infection. 4. Benign cyst5. Lung abscess6. Lung cancer. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done1. CT thorax with contrast2. Bronchoscopic evaluationBoth are needed to rule out above-mentioned conditions. So, don't panic, consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
