[|Human|] my girlfriend afew years ago inhaled Rimu dust which is a native New Zealand hardwood.Now at night in bed she has what sounds to be bronchitis or a damp crackling left lung.Wood dust does seem to pose a serious threat to lung health,she is a non smoker and the lung definitely sounds like it has fluid in it but it does not come and can not be eleiminated.What can we do about this?
[|AI|]  Hi welcome to Chat Doctor ..... Here your physical examination including auscultation need to be done first.... Chest x-ray and if needed spirometry useful in diagnosing your condition.... It could be bronchitis or any other restrictive disease like pulmonary fibrosis or infection like pneumonia if fever and cough with chest pain associated. You have not mentioned complaints in detail. So here examination will guide about which investigation to be done. If dyspnea present with difficult breathing then bronchodilator might have given... If congestion symptoms then antihistamines Chat Doctor. For your condition you can consult pulmonologist. Take care.
